    Plating kit is to go on but I'm gonna have to custom cut a plate to go round the mount and under like on the other side. Its all in hand.

    Not a massive update but got some bits back I've been waiting for from a mate who'd welded some plates in and I just needed to finish them off with a file etc. They can go off for powder coating this week and I'll get the poly bushes ordered so sometime over easter it can be put onto its wheels and moved to its new home where work can commence!!

    With the front suspension parts back from the powder coaters I set about getting a bit of bush action!




    Put together the new hubs!




    Pre-assembled in the shed while it was raining.




    And threw it all on!




    Car is no ready to be trailored over Mr Launder's who's kindly offered to store it for me so I can work on it a little closer to home. Hopefully it'll move this weekend and we can then get the bum in the air and set about converting the rear beam to disc & 5 stud.

    Onwards and upwards!

    I love how clean this car is underneath!




    Fuel tank out next followed by brake & fuel lines. Underneath is pretty much ready to go for welding. :D
