Iv not updated this in a long while so thought id better get my finger oot! lol...........Been doing really well with the mk2 heres a wee peek of whats new.

1 of the 4link boxes welded in place (alot of measuring took place in this! ) also had to cut off the RS anti tramp bar brackets to let boxes slide into position
Got the other one sitting ready to be slotted in place and welded up now
