I should have been politically correct and put "technician" (owner of NVQ)but I served an apprenticeship and you know where I am comming from !

(it was more like a sentence)

or is it "you be the technician & i,ll be the oily rag" :D :D

andy

It's your fantasy,be the oily rag. I am a mechanic not a "technician " !!!!!:p

Not a number either !!!!!!!!

well ive been busy for the past 8 days and only just got back to working on it today. id call today about day 5 of the build, but i havnt spent more than a few hours today. I managed to tack in a few of the sb's at the back apart from sb5 and 6 as they are a pain to cut. I put in 2 diagonals d6 and d5, and the remaining tr's at the top front that support the suspension brackets. I also made a start on the rear suspension area doing the top and bottom frames.

you can cut the 76 degree angle using the rage you just have to make a jig for it

The easy way to cut these angles (with any power saw) is to cut a piece of wood to a known angle of say 40 degrees, then clamp that, and the piece of steel you want to cut, into the saw and set it at (in this case) 36 degrees.

I havnt posted on here for a few days, but have been busy building for some of them. I have now completed the transmission tunnel and almost done the steering wheel supports. I couldnt finish the rear section as i havent yet bended the 19mm tube at the back. I have also made all my suspension/shock brackets and many of the chassis plates, although if i were to do this again i almost certainly woould buy the chassis plates from 3ge as it would save alot of time and hassle. I hope to start to get the suspension brackets on either tomorrow or on thursday, but id say im making good progress. My evo rage 3 blade is wearing out quickly and im now using the angle grinder much much more to cut metal, which is a shame.






The biggest development for em however is getting a ford sierra!! After much hunting i found one about a 40 min drive away which was taxed and mot'd till august. Its a 1.8 cvh unfourtunately with a type 9, although i thought it would have an mt75 before i bought it!!
Its a 1992 h reg and done only 80k, whcih matches the past mot certificates(was worried it may have done 180 or 280k!!) HOwever im getting wuite alot of smoke when i rev it up fully, otherwise it seems fine. Its a good car, shame im taking it apart really. Oh yeah, paid £220 for it, but the person drove it here for me so saved me a 1 hour 20 min drive and petrol and insurance costs!!
