Would it of been easier to fit those before fitting the rear subby?

Yes, but I didnt have them before I fitted the subby. And one of the radius arms was knackered, which I only found out the other day. God knows how I missed that ;D

Thanks :) It was in mini mag Tom. Jon Betts emailed me a few months ago to ask if I wanted to do it, and you can't really refuse an offer like that, can you? They came round one night and took the pictures (thats why the old drum brake drive shafts went back on for a bit - so I could have front wheels :) )

lol, I know. I told Jon he should go and do yours, and he said he'd already asked you. But yours will be more than good enough for a full feature when its done.

I'm getting tempted to give Minimag a shout when I finish my Van...
Fancy a double act Tom :)

cheers for the shout!

it wasnt a big headed thing that i turned them down, its just my car is only a bare shell on the drive wrapped up in a tarp, not that interesting in my view, wait till its been sand blasted, the cage is in and i have stared fitting the carbon and they will be getting an email!

the van is looking really cool, you got to love a full van project!

Cheers Andy. Well, got the ball joints done in the end. I had to strip another set of driveshafts to get some shims of the right thickness. Then that didn't work so I had to go and get some new joints off my cousin. All done now though. Just need a spot of paint and they can go on. Got the callipers cleaned up nicely as well, ready for paint now. Things are slowly but surely getting there.
