Measured it 100 times here and it seems like the outrigger is to long but I'll fix that! I Really don't think it should be bent like that, but if it should please tell me Laughing


And I just had to test one thing before I went home!

do all you Swedish guys have huge yards, huge sheds, trucks and heavy plant? Very Happy nearly every Swedish thread seams to show big yards, big sheds and lots of heavy lifting gear.



I wish Very Happy I fixed my 57 oval in my garage at home, couldn't almost walk around the car because it's so tight... Now, I'm lucky who have bigger garage to be in. I'm only usin half of the garage Very Happy So much easier to work with the right stuff!

I don't think I will go for standard heigh, but maybe sometime Very Happy


I've made some progress but not that much..


Since the whole lower front needed to be pulled back about 2 cm I used special screwes for this!

There was a 2 cm gap between the door and the B-pillar!

I also remounted the front beam and got it down on earth for a minute Very Happy I actually did this before a pulled back the whole lower front, the make it easier!
