Well I've had a good but slow day today. First up was to take some measurements to check everything was ok, I started with corner weights as my coilovers are not adjustable (this can be easily remedied later on). Thankfully they are exceptionally good coming in at 165 kg each front and 170 each on the rear with all tyres set to 20 psi. I have four individual wheel scales and I took four readings so that each wheel was weighed with each unit then took the average reading for each wheel. I also checked the rear wheel alignment which came in at 5 mins toe out and equal about the centre line of the car. The front end will be set up later. Overall I am a very happy chap with this :-D .
I have also now fully welded the front coilover mounting brackets, both on the chassis and the lower wishbones. I've added some gussets (you gotta love that word :-) ) to the lower wishbones as the coilover brackets are off centre on mine (see earlier postings).
I've also welded up the rear suspension top plates and the rollbar, back braces to be added later.
Stupidly I left the camera with the car in the workshop so I can't post any photos tonight, I'm going back for four hours at it on the morrow and will do my best to remember the camera :-):-D
