VTISmichael Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Cheers craig, i like it alot just need to do the other one. Got a universal tacho that goes 9k on the way, did a test fit of the seat, its going to have to go on the original cross sections which makes a bit high for my liking but if i put it in the dip it sits right to the steering wheel too much and i want it central as possible!

Krzys Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Will 9k be high enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Coming in nicely man. Love the wings like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Well progress hasnt been great, i pulled the other wing off but had to stop as i have no bolts, my arch roller came and i tried to roll out the rear arch but after it bend the lip in it kinked in about the middle and edge split a little. So thats not going down, i ordered 2 universal bolt on arches as a temporary measure so i can use it on the rd for later, after i get my dream garage built i can really get to grips with the way i want it. Got some mild steel strips to start making a platform for the seat to go on, again i dont have the right drill so i am at a stop again. I rekon in 2 weeks it will be road worthy and i can bed in the coilovers & wheels in to see if theres any issues need doing, should be fun!

Krzys Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Did you heat up the metal while you were rolling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 yeap, made a small difference, i aint bothered by the paint but the actual metal was splitting, proby if i cut the lip off which i will be going anyway it will roll better but then will have a sharp edge. I think at some point i will find another micra and cut the rear panels off and weld them on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 As long as you smooth off any rough edges you should be fine mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
