Not been doing that much lately.

Starting to get the bits ready to start re-building...

Found the cross member was a little weak...


And needed a bit of weld...



Also been gettin the struts converted to coilovers and bits and bobs painted... Should be re-building this week!!

The front end anyway...

[Banishit]

looking very well mate well done

[Frosticles]

I have a set of those in bits!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shaudy]

That looks the business mate, very impressive.

I see the dash has been left in, are these welded in on mk2's then?

[dasadrew]

Yes.

THE RE-BUILD BEGINS

Started to put the front suspension parts back on the car today. After
cleaning them for god knows how long... Had my cheif painter on the job
sorting them out!!
God knows how low its going to be... I`ve gone for the 7" springs... lol






Should be back on the floor tommorow, waiting for the paint on the hubs
to dry and the steering rack to dry too...
The back end can be stripped down then...

[Banishit]

excellent Mark you going for the Yellow Blue theme throughout ?

Blue samco hoses

When the money allows yeah mate...

You know how it is!!

Yellow and blue, i was sort of inspired by the 199? williams, the one Mansell drove... i`ve always like that colour combo

[M11RF]

Well, its back on the floor...
Need to get the anti roll bar and steering rack rubbers to fit them on with
tho...
I`ve got the setting on the springs about half way here, i think it may
need to go up a little when the engine goes in. But there plenty of rrom
for adjustment...
I was surprised how well it looked when it hit hit the deck





The back of the car now looks like its on stilts... Needs to be dropped at
least 4" i`d say... Hmmmm... more money, i imagine!
