lloyds ek9 restoration + k-swap

[lloyd]

Small update guys,

Its fairly near a bare shell now, just need to drop fuel tank,

Has anyone one here made a 'spit', planing on making one of these so i can do underneath the car, would make life handier if i had dimensions as the car needs to turn on its center of gravity,

one more thing ticked of the list, its a seibon carbon bonnet, weighed it there and its around 8kgs....going by the bathroom scales, i dono how much lighter this is than oem but it definitely easier to pick up, and seems to be well made,.
