Been a little steady going but the gear box is now mounted in the car and all bolted up.
Got the prop to clean and paint now and the i think i`ll start on the wiring!!
Not looking forward to that!
Didn`t think the engine and box would alter the suspension that much but they have... Since getting them in i can`t get the jack under the cross member.. I had to push it onto 2 wooden blocks 1st... Hehehehe...

It squats really nice now.



After this i was getting it out of the garage and turned the steering and the wheels were catching on the Arch :help: so had to adjust the coilovers up a bit, luckily didn`t do any damage!

BUT... there are a few bit on the car now that have been knocked and scraped!! They`ll need touching up later when the car is back together... i`m sure there will be more knocks to come yet!!

Cheers mate.

I`m doing all the work in my dads garage and he uses it a lot of the time.
He wants the door shut in the cold weather when he`s using it and he can`t
if my car is in there so once again work has stopped and its been packed
off for storage!!
So nothing really changed since the last post
Hopefully be back down in a few week for more work to be done... I want
it done for the summer!!

It was dinted in mate and i`m not going to put the heater back in anyway, so i thought cut it out...
Going to get a nice piece of polished alloy or stainless to cover it up with a nice ford sign on it and the chassis number

There was a post on here a few weeks back about dented heater bubbles , and it seems common that most are dented
