[Dum-Dum]

What buckets mate

[Matt]

Cheap ones haha, think I may go ahead and buy the cheap egay ones.


Also battery relocation kit and battery cut of switch are a go. Just need harness and a battery box.
Then payday I need to buy buckets, and subframes

[7057sam]

Matt your going need to weld in some eyelets for the harness points.you putting the battery behind the passenger seat ?

[Matt]

Yeah i got that covered
Battery is going to the boot, as I use the space behind the seats as storage

[Matt]

Right been hammeriting the rear, the brush on stuff. Looks okay, few runs here and there but it's only to sort the rust, painted under the bench, boot floor and up the c pillars so it all matches.
Doesn't look bad considering. But mainly for protection until I can afford a proper job or put the interior back in haha.

Pics to follow

Also got a snap off boss on its way, HIDS are being sent back tomorrow for new ones and I got a nice little tax rebate so I can take the car tomorrow
