looking smart mate. you have any issues with those hydraulic benders crushing the tube flat? we got one at work and on some pipe its a pain in the bum.. we took to filling tubes with sand to help against them crushing on the bend if you see what I mean?

Well done Stef. I can understand how the RR bunch can be and DAFs are not the norm so a very good result. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Well I have finaly remembered were the garage is in the back garden so decided to go have alook inside for a few hours as of work today. so hole cut in the front pannel ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/P9130199.jpg) Finished the front bar. just need to trim the support bars. ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/P9130200.jpg) Mounted master cylinders and pedals, need to cut and bend the pedals to get full travel but its a start ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/P9130201.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/P9130202.jpg) so this is how it looked when I left that mystical dusty uninhabited place (the garage) ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/P9130203.jpg) so some small progress made and I hope to put a few hour in tomorrow ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) colour will be yellow I think not orange, with eather orange or black bar work so will have to start working on the primer, just need to fill the sunroof hole and weld a hole on the rear slam panel also mounted the coil and catch can as well today.
