That red one is painted, when we open the new workshop we will have a big enough oven to powder coat and bake the frames ourselves.   
I am a MASSIVE bender...  Tubes of course.

if it is a ford one they also changed the input shaft, so to go back to vw power it is another job on the list

Just a quick update on the build:

Chassis all stripped and floor pans removed
Gear stick cut out and moved back to original position
Gearbox and Ford adapter and brackets removed (For Sale)
Front Beam stripped and brakes all removed
Sent to media blasters

I am just collating parts for when the chassis returns and to have new pans welded back on.  ;-)up

The first big charity show of the year is out of the way, and we are midway through the move to bigger new premises, jigs and main fabricating equipment are at the new place so we can crack on with this frame over the next week or so.   How is your floorpan coming along chap?

Getting there. Back from the media blasters and having the new pans put on. A few bits of welding on other small areas, so we are OK.

Did you find that Powder Coat colour?

will you be using it on the road ?
any ideas what sort of mudguards you are going to use.

EDIT,
forgot to say, looks like its going to be pretty cool, always fancied a rail myself, even before I saw my first buggy.

Not sure yet. I will be discussing it with Mark @ Dreamshack. There are a few ideas but nothing's decided

Thank You. I had a GRP MK1 when I was a lot younger and always said I would own a rail at some point  ;D
