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
