Thanks Crash- the bull bar uprights are club member 'Twinsets' custom made - the solid alu spacer bars are made for me and are threaded inside to accept the bolts directly into the ends thus eliminating the old weak tube and rod design for a stronger - better looking bull bar .The chassis also sports custom polished alu rear body mounts now - not the plastic one as shown

The polish was a combination of wet and dry paper on the main rails ,then I use T-cut scratch remover/ polish ,then a polish called 'duzzit' made by 151 products and it cost the pricely sum of .99p from QD stores and it really 'duzzit' well + plenty of old T-shirts as polishers

Rebuilt volksrod body on a restored / runner chassis
KEV THE REV

I believe the decals are sponsor sheet types , i resprayed the bronze top after the repairs and i added some sponsor decals where they overlap the 2 colours as i had to peel off the original ones to repair and paint- then laquered the lot the 1st chassis also features my own custom coil- over shock kits which fit the original SRB dampers and a box art front bumper

Hi Rookie69 - there are no torsion bars on the rear , just the original dampers with custom made adjustable coil over spring kits which are fitted to the front too , you can just see the front spring kit in the 1st pic
