Well its been a while since my last progress update... pita to upload, link etc from an ipad!
Managed to get the chassis sorted, toyed with colour ideas then ended up with satin black. Also had to move the steering column bearing support to its original location under the cross beam. Also got the rack prepped and temporary installed with the aid of zip ties.     Last edited by NeilW : 17th July 2015 at 08:42 AM.

Damn HUGE pictures....
anyway, also got the floor mounted under seat area - 2mm 2 piece and an even stronger wrist from the rivet tool and silkaflex under the finger nails for days.  Also got the steering linkages cut to size, just need to pin and weld.  Quite happy with the seating of the steering wheel - even though it is massive I shall remove after SVA.

Started with the wishbones, easy at it with the angry grinder and my new favourite tool - the dremmel. Had no issues with them except getting the bend the front lower and getting extremely pissed with the angle of the front top. Thanks to Phil for bailing me out with a set of front tops.
Then got onto flowflex for the polybushes and crush tubes. Bloody expensive them things  A healthy coating of satin black once prepped.

Spent days cleaning up parts and blasting whatever I could, diff came up quite well.
Got the diff and ns rear upright mounted. Had an absolute nightmare with driveshaft CV's but eventually managed to get them together. Also got the temporary engine in place so I could check the mounts etc, inlet manifold will be removed / replaced. New engine will be 2.0 Blacktop Zetec, I have an eaton charger that I am toying with putting on.

Plan of attack today is get the rear disks and calipers on. Stripped and refurbes the calipers yesterday. Bit tricky to get the circlip back in place against the spring but managed with a socket and g clamp.

Thanks buddy, knowhere near as 'clean' as yours but I am quite happy working in crud...
 Not sure what make it is, I got it from Porkchop on here. The rest of his stuff is Saturn, so I would hazard a guess at that.
