Yep, spoken to them loads of times, parts are supposedly on their way direct from QA1 as it was their cock up in the first place, will be onto them again on Monday if they haven't arrived by then.

Hope they turn up soon as it would be great to go against you at the Nats. That's a challenge to motivate you. :thumbright:

So, after about 8 weeks of being buggered about for parts, the front end is all together again. QA1 Rose jointed aluminium strut rods, QA1 tubular lower control arms, 6 pot torsion bars, Calvert 90/10 shocks & Hotchkis rose jointed track rods. Upper arms & spindles can wait until I convert to disc brakes & large stud pattern. Bumpers and boot lid are in the paint shop, so I should be back on the road very soon.

Do I detect a hint of "AutoFetish Gold" going on under there, Blue??

Very "Old School" ;) ;)

This looks really stunning. You're very good at what you do there!

Love the battery tray though there seems to be a lot of stuff on there, 3 cut offs?

Looking good mate! :thumbright:

It'll be interesting to know how much of a difference the Hotchkiss stuff makes over the stock set up.
