Yup. Its already had that.

Its only fouling on the bottom corner of the sills so i'm just gonna cut them at an angle. Should sort it / make it usable for wiltshire.

I miss it already! Roll on friday.

Feels a lot more solid driving it now, think the tyres may be over inflated.

I had loads of room on 31s. The bulk head has been cut back.

I wont know till i get it off road how / where they catch. Find out soon enough.

If my Dads is up and running for next sunday he's on about taking them to pea farm for a pay n play.

I've just been flicking through all my photos on my phone. When i first painted the Zuk it looked quite good, reasonably well painted and put together.

It looks quite sad now. I must get the bodywork tidied up as soon as the oily bits are done after the MOT.
