Rolled it over this morning, kind of hampered by the rain

Got the rear subframe on my motorbike lift and offered it up to the car

A fair bit of swearing later and it's on

We'll fit the front one next time, hopefully it won't be raining

Finally got it on all 4 wheels this afternoon after work, a simple schoolboy error meant we couldn't get the hubs onto the shafts, you live and learn eh?

Since my last post we've been quite busy on my days off. We've adjusted the high lows, fitted the shocks, test fitted the doors, bootlid and bonnet

Took nearly 2 days to get the bonnet looking anyway half decent, then because of the way the captive nut for the bonnet pin was welded on, to get the bonnet to the right height it only screwed a couple of turns, wasn't happy leaving it like that under load so had to fire the welder up using gasless wire, not ideal but it worked

 

Then the nice man with a truck came and picked it up to take it to my nephews workshopSfCyGAB.jpg

Can't wait...

Looking very smart. Those bonnet gaps look brilliant. Can’t wait to see the car returned with colour ?
