solidly mounted the cut down subframe today. 2 M10's below the axis of rotation at each side. its not going anywhere now. coilovers are on order...

also started on the wiring loom. im feeding it through the passensger side of the bulkhead where the heater pipes used to go, to save me drilling more holes. i thought i might need to lengthen some of the wires to get them into the right place inside the cabin but most of them are fine. i may need to lengthen the switches depending on where i decide to put them but i will only know this once i have a seat in place...

i need an appropriate sized drift to get the oil seals in on my hubs, does anyone have any pointers on what to use?

[$way]

these turned up yesterday, put a big smile on my face....
