Well...after a longish break of doing stuff for other peeps I thought it was time to get stuck back in to my build.
After I found out about the news of the dvla offices shutting down in 2013 I have decided to simplify my build to get it to up to quick IVA status so the ca18det engine IS still getting prepped but for a later engine transplant but it goes right against the grain but I am not going to get my soap box out.
So my build is going to be 1.6 pinto powered for a brief period only.
I managed to get my chassis off the build table and it now sits on some trestles which makes it a lot easier to spin over to get at all the un-welded bits done and no matter how hard you look there is always one that you find later and then some after that too.
Now for the update....been ebaying again and came up with an old stock polo rad for £26 delivered, have also put together my rear uprights and welded those up, have put steering rack mounts on and seatbelt harness mounts, will soon be doing my megatank.
Today is going to be spent grinding the welds back where bodywork/aluminium sits
Quick question.....when the rear uprights are fabricated and ready to weld, has everyone welded up the inside of the 5" pipe where there is a small thin ledge between RU7 and RU8?.....bugger to get to but easily done
