it came with the bushes, grease nipples, and i paid for new leaves as well, already narrowed.

it is a quality bit of kit, nice welds, how the adjusters are mounted.

Bring on the gimp.

Have to wear the mask as gungeys farts are so bad.

Thought i would get a couple of shots last night, it has come out very well, only a couple of marks to put some stopper in.
will then flat down and re-prime the whol shell in filler primer once it has all been prepped.





got to drill the holes for the wiring loom to pass through in the n/s/heater channel, and make some angle plates up for the fromt vent covers to slide in. Might have to see Mr Nomates to see if can use his folder.



this was a left hand drive panel with all the cutouts in the wrong place and solid on one side.



now started to get the roof finished and primed asap.

Right,
I thought i had beeter update this thread, Not alot happened during December as quite a lot of things on, work etc.
Got out over new year and did a bit of filling, but due to cold weather it was taking age's to dry, so tought i would wait until the weather got a bit warmer.

so start of january went to cornwall for the weekend , with my wife, mum and dad and gungey and his wife, so another weekend not doing anything.

next weekend at a party i slipped over pissed up , and fracture my wrist so , nothing more for a over a month.

so started back working on it, and thought i would try to get the floor pan completely finished, so put engine on, exhaust etc, stripped the beam down and got it powder coated painted up all the suspension arms and a few other bits.

when the pans finished i need to knock up a trolley to move the shell around on, so i can finish all the repair work and get the shell primed up.

will post some pics when i get the beam finished as then i can move the pan out for pics.
