Many thanks for the good wishes folks.
I am liking your blog Rich. If i wern't such a Techno moron, perhaps i could do my own.
Funny, i can turn any old lumps of metal into something usefull. Ok with mechanics, electrics and have even been known to install the odd combi boiler or two. But when it comes to all things PC & software. I am a complete and utter moron.
My build as I left it ?.
Chassis is made, although i still have RP 1 & 2 to bend, weld on and finish the back end off.
I have made the rear hub units. Have the bushes,coil overs, rack,joints etc. All the parts to get the chassis rolling.
The engine, gearbox & diff have all been test fitted. No worries there.
I am hoping to fabricate the wishbones next week. I had already made the lower front ones but had a senior moment when I used the wrong size tube.
I have decided to remake those but i will be buying the wishbone plates from 3ge. There is no way I am going to mark and cut those out for a second time.
The wishbone plates are a classic example of knowing when to buy a part rather than, make it your self.
Yes I have the skill and the equipment but the time spent making them (loads) would have been better spent elsewhere.
The same could said of the suspension brackets & rear hub plates.
My advice is buy them and use the time elsewhere.
I hope that over the coming months, i'll get the chance to meet some of my fellow local forum members.
Les & fabbyglass spring to mind
Thanks John.
I was well and truley gutted being unable to attend Exeter this year. I had been planning to attend the entire event this year. I had a brilliant time at last years show.
To be honest missing the show was almost as bad as not being able to spend any time on my build.
Roll on next November i say.
Well off to spend & hour catching up with all of the posts that I have yet to read.
Ronnie
