Re: CB's 9n progress thread.
well progress has come to a standstill at the mo as i am horribly broke due to moving to manchester. hopefully will start to make some more progress in the next month or so or atleast get some more cash saved for the conversion.
Anyone around in Manchester want to go for a cruise or photoshoot some time drop me a pm!

Re: CB's 9n progress thread.
currently just the standard bench, but i'm torn between leaving them in and getting them reupholstered to match when i get round to finishing the interior (long down the list) or stripping them out and filling the back with a cageTim_GTi wrote:Nice, what do you have in the rear?
sounds good, but i do have a soft spot for rediculous colour wheelsBIG RHYS wrote:gunmetal grey and match it with gun metal grey wheels
