Thanks, Chris!

I've only got the top arm to do today ... I would start the rest, but I've no idea where it all goes! And we want to Waxoyl the inner subframe first ...



(But Kris and EE have gone to put a new engine in Dad's smart car, lol)

Well, we did end up putting some suspension on






Num num num




We've not done the hub up because one of the ball joints is stiff, so we've got some new to replace. The other is perfectly fine! We also haven't fixed the spring in, because we need the ball for that and we've not got one yet!

Wow, it looks so clean. Reminds me of mine when i first built her back up.

[Bean]

It's kinda clean! If not for the copper grease and the waxoyl, lol. Both equally mucky things!

[Jackman]

Its clean... copper grease and waxoil is fine... its when there is years of road drit, grease and things like that included in the mix ha ha.

Well, we went to a classic car show at Malvern on the weekend and we bought some polishing bits and pieces, so we've been starting work on the Dunlops!

Really pleased with how they're turning out, but it's taking a while! Even attached to a drill, lol. Still - I'm happy with how it's going so far - Even though my wrists are now knackered!



Got a pressie from Minispares yesterday! Some knuckles (so I can now fit the springs!! ) and the chrome window runner for the slidy windows! (so I can fit my seals! )


Photos of the wheels later!

They've still not had the softest wheel & compound on them, yet. I've still got some pitting to get out on a couple of spokes! So, they'll be even shinier when they've had the fine polish!

[Jackman]

Bean WOW! They are looking great.

Are you having black centers?
