Hello but I'm not building a Haynes roadster, quite

[twinturbo]

Don;t forget to put a spigot bearing in the crank when you swap the flex plat for a flywheel.

Yeah, don't suppose the box would last long without it .

Done a little bit more today despite dying of manflu. Last week I cut off the rear hub mounting flanges from the Granada lower wishbones with my new gas axe. today I started tidying them up ready to fabricate my rear uprights. I machined the inner face and reduced the overall diameter in the lathe. Pictures attached. One done the other raw.

Rear suspension uprights are now fab'd up. Photos and a brief write up available on my website below . Your input is gratefully appreciated, either on here or on our own forum.

Just had a look at your updated blog D

Tis really interesting to see how folk overcome particular problems when using non-Sierra donor parts.

Just goes to show ...... Most things are possible if a little thought is put into practice.

Looking good mate

Cheers Ronnie, its good to get positive feedback , well any feedback actually as long as its constructive. It does help having 2000sq ft of workshop and an eight Tonne four post lift (makes a flippin' great workbench, especially for welding work ). 160 Amp Mig welder, 6" Clarke bandsaw, combined lathe and mill, pillar drill, 10 Tonne hydraulic press, 3' combined folding press/shear and rolling mill and oxy/acetylene cutting and welding kit to play with. All I need now is money .

That's two things I would dearly like.......A decent set of rolls & a small press brake

No four post lift for me, I have to make do with a full length inspection pit & jacking beam......Next best thing I guess
