Matt's build thread

[Mking]

Crikey, I can't believe it has been August since I updated this. Those who are on the Facebook page will have seen I have made progress on the chassis. It's not been quick but not bad given its been fitted around childcare/work etc. I am now up to the rear suspension and rear end. I have ordered the 20mm steel today so can crack on once it arrives.

I have been trying to decide whether to make suspension brackets but after realising this seems to be a ball ache and getting them accurate adds difficulty, I am going to buy them instead. The wishbones are also causing me stress but I hope once I make the jigs and cut the pieces it will all come together.

I have just realised the angled tubes on my front frame are twisted slightly. I am going to cut the tubes out, fettle them, and weld them back in to save issues with the suspension mounts.
