Have garage doors and a decent size space each end. It is a struggle, particulary last year when I painted underneath

Fortunately, I'm not a big bloke which helps

It's starting to take shape at long last

Moving onto to steering & suspension.......

All this has taken all a bit longer than originally planned

mainly to the complete lack of time at the moment. However, progress is being made

The 'Ole Girl' is back on here feet again. The engine bay is painted, albeit a little disappointed with my Bananarama! painting skills having left a few runs in the lacquer that I need to get rid of and some reaction at the top of the bulkhead that will be sorted once the motor is in

The motor is currently having some odds n sods and hope to get it in at the weekend.....Hope to roll her out the 'tunnel' too, provided that the good ole English weather holds up. This will give me a bit of room the get the wiring back in, along with a whole load of other stuff

Nice work fella. Very professional looking job

Looks fine to me, I'd be plenty happy with that! Are those the correct lower bump stops? They are not normally like that, don't forget to fit the upper one's or limiters unless you want to wreck your shocks.....

The tubular upper arms are great, you can dial in as much caster as you want, but they will take a fair bit of time to get the alignment right, you have to keep taking them off and screwing the joints in or out until you get it near enough to use the factory adjusters. I have a camber/caster gauge you can borrow, I'd recommend you set it up yourself.

Thanks Chaps

Blue, You are spot on, triangular stops on the Lower arms, and the ones you see are now fitted just below the Uppers. Will take you up on your offer, as always

Guy, the arms came from CAP - very friendly chap there. In hindsight, should have bought the tubular lowers too.....

It sure is, like I said, not going to install it, just have it hanging over the mantel piece

Cant find these lower arms - have you a link?
