I Like the Way the New Gauges are Placed in the Center Console! ... Along with the Stick Switches, they Give to the Car`s Interior a Retro-Futurist Look, Like a Classic James Bond Film`s Car! ... :) ... So Nice!

 

Also All the Project Looks Clean, Well Done! ... Thank you for Posting Pictures and Sharing Experiences.

 

Kind Regards.

ok so made a big step forward on my coupe project got the 2wd subframe out and the 4wd subfame in whata dog that was but i love the way it sets plenty of ground clearance although its a road car it might see some dirt roads and a little clearance is nice.

Hey Robbie, I have 1 of those Les Schwab 13" wheels if you want a matching spare, its not as pretty as yours but if you want it just find something to trade for it, otherwise its gonna be my spare for the Brat. Coupe looks good!
