The sides are only about 1.2m so you shouldn't have any problems. I gave the tanks the first coat of primer today and I'll do another tomorrow. Here's a few shots of 2822 and I just love the inguinuity for the radiator support. "The old starr dropper and some fencing wire. I would not want to sit there when she boils
This must be a LP2'GT' as its got the sports steering wheel.

Thanks for the pics Colin. Seen her fair share of abuse over the years, do you know what they were using it for? By the looks of where the radiator is located, must have been somewhere with a cold climate........pleanty of heat for the driver.

Regards Nathan

Hi Nathan, I was told it was used in a rodeo for barrel racing but it became a bit dangerous and it was in a very hot area.
Newly made brake and steering rods and I grit blasted the rest of the steering components and it's all primed and ready to go.
Colin.
