You sort choice of topmounts in the end then?

No, no idea what they are tbh must be something he found in his parts bin just for setting it up

Rear cradle looks good, with using the nova hubs on the back, will you ad in extra support ?( as in like steering movement as you'll only have one side held in place with the std steering arm mount..)

Cheers, no idea tbh I barley spoke to him yesterday but mark had a chat with him yesterday about it as he said so will prob be what he said

I think the plan is just to mount it off steering arm and wrap the lower arms in steel to add strength there aswell but seen this today when was in speaking to the fabricator and looks well weight has been kept ryt down with light materials used and I'd imagine would be one the best 4x4 Novas about some really good work went into this

cheers Mark, I've not had much of a chance to speak to him about that side of things yet I'll see what's what next week or something.

Looking very good Baz

Thanks, finally getting somewhere.

That's fantastic!

cheers, hopefully have the tubs and floor in soon then I can get it home!

A few more pics. Rear cross is in and cradle is finished. Everything has to be fully welded up now then get the rear suspension built up properly then the floor and tubs can go in.

Shouldn't you have hung the diff and shafts in to get everything in place before welding it all up? To get everything lined up and that?

[bazzap8389]

It was. Pics are a page or 2 back with it all in place.

[Benn]

Ah, my fault for not back tracking enough. Sorry.

[The Simps]

Looks great Baz! Some solid, quick progress happening on this now!

[Iain]

This thing's gonna be epic.

With this pic, is it gonna be boxed off at an angle to create more strength?

Ha ha it's all good

cheers, it's getting there bit by bit. Nuts and bolts for suspension is what's holding me up at the moment.

Thanks

yeah, the bit that has "fold" on it will go behind it against the tunnel and another piece will we welded onto the front side of it. Not been done yet as the whole cage can still come out the car in 1 piece just now!
