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.

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 Finished the front bar. just need to trim the support bars. Mounted master cylinders and pedals, need to cut and bend the pedals to get full travel but its a start so this is how it looked when I left that mystical dusty uninhabited place (the garage) so some small progress made and I hope to put a few hour in tomorrow 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.
