Tis looking good matey...keep at it me ol china










oh by the way.................i assume you have used a joggler tool for making the lips for your new panels...............are they any good as ive just bought a clarke one [/quote



Ta very much. It's the first time I've ever had to use a joggler, but I wouldn't be without one now having done the bus

Mines a hand one, so it takes abit muscle to use lol ...........but on the plus side its a good workout

not got the tool,i used to but lent it to someone and never saw it agian
if its the richt one you can have it, i dont see why a full sus one would be diferent to a hardtail

Cheers mate, ill have a look this week. U recon halfords have one of them tools or is it a specialist tool

i would try stourport specialist cycles first, they might lend you one.

Ah yeah nice one never thought of them

A few more pics to the collection, pass rear arch fitted and my vans first outing in 15 months (all be it brief )



















took the chance to give it a bit of clear out and get some decent pics of the progress. cant wait to get some filler on the go and then the best bit....PAINT
