              no prob's i guessed youd missed the post

              yes, computer probs are severely hampering my updates on the ole girl.

              Ref parts, mainly Peter Lloyd Rallying (Bridgend) and JMC (Barry) in south wales, both good service in my opinion, and both give excellent rates particularly on a long term build.

              of to autosport for some bits next week, alloy rads , and also silly things like Grommets (not the Wallace type ) cables and hoses.

              Warning: Rallying can seriously damage your wealth


              stay tuned,

              • spent most of the weekend cleaning the engine bay, was a right mess - full of dust and crap from the bodyshop, literally took four hours to get it looking decent.

                anyway, having had chance to survey the engine bay (now clean and clear of debris) it's time to evaluate what goes where, in what order and what needs doing prior to starting putting things back together.

                first thing i had to do was establish whether to leave the original cross member fixing studs or go the "through chasis rails" route.
                The original fixings were, surprisingle, very secure, and have never given me a problem in the past, however as i was using a new Group 4 type WCXM then i have decided to go through the chasis rails.

                will post some pics of work in progress

                            anyway, onwards and upwards,

                            i took a lot of detail measurements of the bolt holes as i wanted this 'spot on' and not risk being a few mm out, as this would effect things further down the job, therefore with it all stripped, marked, checked, re measured and checked again, out came the Drill bit




                            note rusty bit on inner wing .....











                            then out with the bigger Bit, best to use a slow speed on the drill for this bit, nice n steady....




                            and double check with right angle / square




                            Drill out (from the bottom) the threaded section of existing captive thread in chasis, be carefull here as the 'thread' will unwind like wire and 'wind out' - quite dangerous and very sharp. make sure drill is 'square' at all times - i checked every few seconds - and hopefully the bottom holes will line up with the newly drilled top ones!!!!


                            lets hope so

                            if not....................

                              I simply drilled up through the captive nuts and held the drill vertical
