It was a pig to get into my garage, especialy as I was on my own with a sprained wrist, so took me till lunch time to get it to it's temporary home in my garage.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the kit.
This pic shows passenger side rear hub with disk, caliper, anti-roll bar, drive shaft and coil-overs.

Neat isn't it.

And look how cool reverse looks now it's all built up.
The starter motor simply moves the big black cog which turns the drive shaft backwards. Simple

I think my floor was a repair panel placed over the original floor because it had two layers of metal??????
Both were rotten see pic,
but is the floor only supposed to have one layer, because that it is all it will have once i've put new repair panel in???????????

Was hoping to have finnished all my welding today, but my grinder burnt itself out once I was at this stage. How annoying!

Bought a new one just before shops shut so can continue tommorrow.

My N20 jets turned up too.
I bought a 15hp and 18bhp ones for my mates minimoto and got 75bhp and 100bhp jets for smurfy. But I think I will swap the 100bhp jets for some 50bhp ones.
Don't want to detonate myself do i?

Sorry folks, but still don't have anything sexy to show you. Today I dropped off my arches to my local friendly garage for a friendly priced spray.
Also got them to take off the castle nuts on my metro hubs, as it is nightmare to do it without fixing them to the subframe first and I am not in a position to do that yet.
Plus my wrist is buggered, so am a feeble weekling at the mo.

Got the floor to a stage where I am happy to weld the panel in tommorrow.
