Thank you all SOOO much for the comments.
Well guys, ive been putting my back into it today, with some pretty impressive results. I think pictures, are the best way to show the achievments.

The front Subframe was'nt as bad as i was expcting, had some difficulties lining up the front Nearside bolt, but managed in the end. Also had to re-tap were one of the tower bolts go in to!
The back however was a real pain in the a**, took so long, and had to re-adjust sooo many times, but got there in the end!!
So what ya, Wreckon?

WOW looks great. you really aren't messing about.

Have you thought about changing the dynamo to an alternator? or are you keeping it more original?

[liirge]

Keeping it original, and the dynamo will put less stress through the wiring loom!!
Thanks for looking!
