Well yesterday we all but finished up the front droop stops , and reduced the front top spring packs back to 3 full leafs only which at this stage feels like a nice spring combined with the 2 1/4 arms .
With that done and us needing to get the car rolling so we can move it around for an incomming container of gear from the USA we also refitted the left rear torsion bar and wheeled it outside for a look at the adjusted stance .
At ride height i should have around 430mm under the torsion housings with 100mm droop from there and 200mm up travel .
Yes the rear guards are going to need some work to centre them over the wheels but the arches also need to be moved out so no biggy to also move them back the required 40mm too

What a fantastic ride. You are doing great work.
Finally recieved our container from the states so Christmas has come early here

Long time no posts , no excuses but i have been working on it !!!!!!!
Have cut and folded most of my new fuel tank out , which uses the triangular void that it fit's into better than the original round tank and the new tank should hold around 55 to 60 litres , sorry no photos' of this yet
Yesterday we also finally got stuck into the rear mudguards / fenders which we have moved out approx 50 mm and back 55 mm to cover my large rear stance .
The plan with the guards / fenders is to cut ,modify , and clean up the existing guards , use these as plugs for a mould ( the existing guards are in very poor shape have been modified a few times already and weigh way to much ) and produce a couple of sets , ie one set to go on the car and a spare set .
Any way here are a few pics of the progress so far

Nice read Andrew, great work.
Love the twin hand brake levers 🙂
Ok it's been a while again since the last post , but still moving forward , will let the pictures speak
Designed , cut , folded and fitted a dash panel
Mounted the oil cooler , it's a Towd , space is tight , and i didn't like the idea of the oil radiator drawing hot air off the top of the gearbox and or the hot from said radiator getting drawn into the cool air inlet on the fan shroud
Cut and folded up some headlight brackets
The alloy fuel tank in place , with the cut out area in the bottom to get around the hydralic lines of the fiddlers
MMMMMMMMMM Starting to get the final items welded out

Well have finally got the rear guards home and fitted to the car , i just have to make some tabs up today to hold the inside edges of the bottom of the arches to the chassis to stop them bouncing around
Now hopefully the front guards arent to far of being done also and i can finally break this baby down and send it out for paint and powdercoat etc
