Re: Been here before 😁
Forks finished being fitted later so that’ll be front end done. Rear subframe back so rear end can be built too.
Chinese bodywork ready and had an email today to approve the paint…..they sent pics can anyone see the problem


But they are changing it and I’ve asked for the 2 panels that are wrong as well as part of me likes them
