    Don't worry bout it just needs a clean and paint the subframes not to bad its just the brake discs with sitting doing nothing are a bit rusty

    Its more the fact ive striped and painted the underneath and not painted the subframe. can't wait to fit all my new suspencion arms

    So getting rid of the fuel filler hole in the over fender

    Fitted ali plates on the outside of thefender

    [​IMG]

    fiber glassed the back

    [​IMG]

    After its all dry took of the plates

    [​IMG]

    And after some sanding and shaping.

    [​IMG]

    Not perfect but i think it will look ok once it is painted

    Fitted the oposit side

    [​IMG]

    And offcourse had to try a wheel on

    [​IMG]

    Needs a spacer!!!!!

    What else did i get upto today?

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Removing the door internals realy does shed some weight

    [​IMG]

    Can only hope removing all this metal makes up for fitting the cage. Weight wise.

    Got the other over fender fitted

    [​IMG]

    Looks okwe wll see what it looks like in primer

    After preping the doors for paint i decided to try the front end on to see if it all fits

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Sorry to anyone who hoped for a s14 front end ive always wanted to do the 14.5 conversion with the vertex kit (sorry adam)

    Any way im glad i tryed everything up as i can see i need modification to the chassie to allow room for the head lights.

    Top tip for anyone trile fit everything as nothing on a build like this is a bolt on modifiaction

    I'm going to order up tube for making the intercooler support and bumper support. will also have to order my bonnet.
