The guy that sandblasted took the responsibility for the errors that has been done and he got a guy to come here and hammer things as they should be and then he is going to put some filler on it and do i...

are you posting pics as attachments under the 'add attachment'? No they are added from my gallery, and it seems like i am right about that some forums doesn't like my gallery. It works perfect under most forums, but not here. I will attach them this time, but it takes to much time to do this every ...

Well I had plans of getting the racing cheer, harnesses and the mounting points this week, so that I could get the car done and get it over to sandblasting and then to painting. But that doesn’t happen this week, the Italians (OMP people) had gone on holiday so my seat isn’t done yet, what I have he...
