Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

when you get to this stage.........take your time when welding/positioning all the parts that make up CP3 & CP4, the picture in the book has lead to a few builders welding the Shock bracket in the wrong place, its not a fault of the book diagram, more a case of not realising the diagram is upside down, so when you turn it over to place onto the chassis you need to ensure that the center line of the bracket is 97mm from the leading forward edge of SB2 ( the diagram if not followed closely will have it too close to SB2 when you turn it over & you,ll not get a nut between the shock bracket & SB2)........

top tip for the day

cheers
