Bit of an update, got my rear hubs fully welded, and made my front wishbones, just waiting on my mushrooms for the front so I can fit my hubs

Oh and got my rack and got it fitted, need some steering extensions now

Also I'm after a column if anyone's got one?









Onto the rears next, hopefully get some wheels on it before christmas

Try ebay for a column, or your local scrap yards.

That's a very clean garage!

Yeah I've got my eye out but I'm not paying £150

Haha thanks, that's my garage, I do all my fabricating in my workshop at the bottom of my garden!

Well had a full day on the car today, got my front hubs fitted then cracked on with my rear wishbones,





I had offered up some rod ends on my rear hubs, and checked with a 13" wheel template from team dynamics, and they will fit

I don't no why but I have the latest book with the new 10mm longer wishbones but the jig drawings look like they haven't been changed, so I had made my jigs to that, then when I had made a wishbone and checked the bush centres they were 10mm short, to say I was unhappy was an understatement, I can't believe there's nothing on the amendments page just to give you a heads up, I think i will get away with it as I have wound my rod ends out 5mm and I might skim 5mm off the matting face on the stub axle or put a spacer behind the hub, so a std driveshaft fits

The rod ends are still in the tube insert a full 1" and they are only threaded that much so that's ok, just didn't really want them wound out to far

Just got to sort some spaces and washers out for either side of the rod ends
