Hey Guest👍👎 We're looking for reviews of your local CUPRA or SEAT Dealership - it's quick and easy to do: Leave a review now
it'll get done eventually ( i hope ) 
finally finished the design for the new 20' x '10 workshop/stores/office so i can hide the bits 'n' bobs and tools and get some work done at last
all i need now is my cheque cleared and a nice man in a wickes lorry to deliver 150 bits of wood and a shed load of screws

few more bit n bobs done recently but currently all stripped and stacked up in the shelter covered in the contents of the shed so i can get to build the new workshop/storage etc so all go but i've got wood for sure
lmao
being made redundant soon so i'm hunting a job that is not motor trade that i hope will help me get back to enjoying cars again so i should have some more regular work done on it now
promised myself I will never be a martyr to it though as it's 'Just 4 Fun' as far as i'm concerned

Sorry been so up to my eyes in it i haven't been in here for a few months
Shed as above finally finished
not a bad likeness but getting all filled with my junk daily
with my redundancy dollars i treated myself to another welder and retired the old one off for spares and kicked off patching up a few holes etc and added yet another car in teh shape of rear arms off a mk3 ford escort RS Turbo you'll see lower down where they will sort of fit eventually
that was last week so this week i realised i hadn't checked a few clearances after assuming in my head they would be fine i thought i'd better make sure so i refitted the diff and rear end on one side to be sure
loads more pics but to save boring ya to death i've added em to the gallery http://ratrod.photoblog.co.uk/

Love this car Altho for some reason, every time I read about it it reminds me of this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI&ob=av3e
Can't wait to see this finished

Good Stuff, Mr Pper! 
In the following (last) photo, is the arm mount you've made bushed?
What's the big bracket?

the bracket is what i saved off the end of the original outrigger - it was the original mount point for the scimitar's original axle 4-link bars
the new (escort mk3) arm is bushed at the rear and has been modified to fit the original Jaguar axle location but as yet i haven't figured out what and how to mount the front threaded part safely as it's just taped on at moment
need it fitted below ideally to make it easier when i box the chassis back up with the narrower outriggers, reminds me I must get a proper floor piece cut out as a pattern really
some of the 'as arrived' pics in this gallery

you'll see i've chopped down the chassis in all directions to suit so a fair bit's missing
