My 'New' special edition V6 Cab,

[TimE-J]

Thats certainly changed since the last time I saw it. "Kit's customs".

I did not realise you had branched out into custom bodywork, and hired madwolf to head up the operation!

Oh, yeah there's nothing I won't tackle here at KS Motor Services.

In the pic it's loaded up on a trailer en-route to Madwolf for final R&D, only his touch could ensure such a project succeeds. He has 15 brand new Dremels ready to go and I'm going to feed him some Crystal Meth to make sure his creative flow is not disturbed.

Thinking of keeping all the scrap inside and sitting cross legged on top, Maharajah astride his Elephant style. Couple of good cushions, sorted. Quite like the brolly idea too, easier and cheaper than canvas.




On a serious note, I'm very pleased to have the blasted thing out of my workshop and the S2 back inside where it belongs, looks like I have a couple of days off coming up due to hold up's on the Carpentry job I'm doing Three days a week at the moment. Breather system and brakes here I come!!!!!! As long as my customers stay away for couple of days, I should have it running and driving again this week. Got a Corrado booked in all weekend for a major service and inspection, belongs to a member on here, so no spare time then. Still it's an a tidy 8V Corrado so lovely and simple to work on, looking forward to it actually.

Im not sure if i like it or hate it..

I had to strengthen the side's as Alex and I removed a lot of body work and it was going to kink in the middle once I dropped her on to the wheels. Hence the 3/4" solid bar welded from the A-post too the rear shock top mount. It still bent when I dropped it off the axle stands, was a total sod to move and load up.

I thought I'd make a skip for all my scrap, hence the Corrado doors and Corrugated iron

Got 270 quids worth there.

I like open tops with a separate chassis, but I think you need to extend the wheelbase a little

That's next week's wheeler dealers' car isn't it "best in the country"

Weld up a couple of those holes at the back and fit an outboard and you've got a great waterski boat!

Mike Brewer did get in touch, but I felt his suggestions to be unrealistic, he wanted to fit a bonnet and seat belts. That's no good at all, especially with my 'Indian driving/riding position' plans. Was thinking duel fuel could work well, Horse drawn for flat roads/cruising, then for the hills and Motorway I can fire up the V6. Should get over 40 MPG set up correctly. Could go for LPG for even extra economy.

Madwolf will sort it.

[K Simmonds]

just checked, that corrugated rear quarter is now NLA...do they ever restock

No chance, checked with TPS. I got the last set in the UK. There is a pair in Kazakhstan but their damaged and the seller wants 3K plus postage for them. Plus their the wrong colour and profile, took hours in the wind tunnel to select the correct gauge and get the welds right, just burnt through the paint for added weld splash giving a rustic look.

If I could actually make it function again it would be a sure fire winner.
