and thank you its pretty fun so far, even though im being paid practically nothing
on another note, does anybody know if i can get a shorter handbrake cable? say 8 inches shorter? reason being that because i now sit so far back the handbrake is where i want the gear lever and the handbrake is way too far forward

yeah there M20, the thread is the same sixe as a modern CV joint. they arent going to break anytime soon that for sure. ill have to look for my old handbrake cable and check it out, i had an idea of using a twin cable handbrake from a Vw polo but ill have to check it out.
Amazing fabrication work on your project.
Adam

got the opposite door step almost welded in, just a little finishing to do and then weld the front half in.
i also welded a cap onto the top of my turrets and managed to cut out the hole for it in the drivers rear arch, so i will fit those tomorrow along with the new heelboard.

i finished off welding in the rear qurter repair but didnt take any photos because it doesnt look any different really.
ive cut out the boot bloor and rear heelboard in preperation for next weekdends work putting in the new heelboard and new boot floor. ive also cut out one arch for the new turret but im going to cut out the other side first before i put the turrets in so that i can ensure they are level
heres a few photos

my rear heelboard is in! and its all lovely and straight and aligned after a few hours of measuring and comparing to BL drawings. sadly no photos as i was concentrating far too much. ive also got both the closing panels in that meet the lower curve of the quarter panel.
big progress on the turret front, there both in! just need to be welded in at the top and they are finished.
standard
turreted
and heres a photo of the coilovers i got today
comments welcome
