very belated build thread
as noted by others the forum has been pretty quiet recently so i thought i'd do my bit and start a thread so all my daft questions are in one place and not scattered around the forum.
so. very close to having a fully welded chassis now and i'll be glad to put it away soon as it's getting very boring just welding stuff. but my wishbones arrived last week from Talon and they look great so i've been welding the suspension brackets on this past week and also making my pedal box. haven't been able to finish it as the jigsaw basically packed in which my dad won't be best pleased about when he finds out! and i need a new drill also.  also made some head way with the running gear and got the whole lot apart form the steering rack (which has to be a mk2 escort??) for £160. so going to pick it up on Tuesday   so it's all coming together! the only thing standing in my way is money as is usually the case Ben

Looking good, just remember to label EVERYTHING!
Took my donor apart almost a year ago and all the parts are stacked at the back of the shed, hoping my labeling has lasted!

I will be taking a load of gear to be blasted in the next few weeks if you want to make up a bundle of bits to be done give me a shout.

Rob, cheers for the offer but I didn't think it would do the running gear much good to be blasted? I was going to attack it with a wire brush and electrolysis. What do you think?
Ben

Hi all,
I'm looking to get the rest of the running gear in and was wondering the best place to get all the ball joints from if anyone knows? Cheers Ben
