Bookmarked this - best thread I've read in a while.

I'm ashamed to say after the first page I was one of the detractors thinking "here we go, another project that will never happen" - eating my hat as we speak.

Just a shame the rear suspension towers wont let you squeeze two seats in the back, 7 seater would be awesome!!

I know its a long way off but how are you planning on finishing the interior?

The interior is so far off I'm not really sure , although I am thinking of a little bit of comfort rather than all out stripped interior

Got a little more done on the rear end on Sunday , I'm now happy with all the rear end and will move on to securing the front end next

[em177]

Incredibly impressed with that. Top work.

Can't believe I've only just spotted this thread! Great work OP!

[The Jolly Todger]

Great stuff OP. Like many others I thought this thread was going to be another dreamer with a half baked idea that runs for a few weeks and then is never updated again. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Nice work, that rear end looks almost standard.

[Lee_sec]

Your too kind !!

I will be busy for the rest of the week but I have managed to do a little more welding and I have made these little tools to use with a hydraulic punch I have , hopefully to save some weight and add a little strength back in

Weird I have just been googling these as will be needing some soon, don't fancy knocking a second set up do you

You can buy the swaging sets via eBay. Search for the Fab Parts 2009 shop...

Perfect.

7 seats ya see, move passengers around to compensate

[gaz1234]

Just come across this. Mental.

[Furyous]

I loved how he was going to leave the two halves of the subframe unconnected until someone prompted him. If he ever finishes it, it'll be petrifying.

Haha, I love this quote from the thread:

if he welded himself in the car i think we've covered that he's an expert at cutting ridiculously sized holes in his car
