Things you wish you'd done different

Started fitting the bushes to the bones and then fitting them to the car. Straight away I was annoyed because the paint on the uprights got scraped away where the bushes/crush tubes rub. If I was doing it again I would make the brackets wider and weld in a washer the same size as the bush on the inside face. That way the paint would be untouched and the face of the washer could be greased for protection.


Crap, put it in wrong section.

That sucks Gaz:mad: ....this is exactly the reason why I am nickel plating those areas, it was always a concern to me where the thickness of a coat of paint would make some tolerances very tight leading to it being worn off:)
