And drove it home lol

Great great work keep the posts coming

Nice work.
I always thought that those in-boarding kits went inside the Chassis rails completely so it was less visible, but from the picture it looks wider?

I suppose it is dictated by the spring width.......I guess the perches will have to be moved even further inboard than on previous occasions?

BIVA ehhh????

Impressive stuff Blue.
Look forward to having a good look over it.
Keep the pics coming

Yea, the springs are wider than the chassis. Doing it this way moves the spring in about 1/4" further than if you centrered them on the chassis. The outside edge of the spring pretty much sits parallel with the outside of the chassis so you do gain maximum tyre clearance.

Excellent work Blue, it looks like you're really back in the groove and a good move to ensure the set up looks as stock as possible. The cost cutting at the DVLA and VOSA doesn't appear to pose much of a threat these days and as your car is already registered, you should have no problems at all.

6am start and a 4 pm finish? you deserve to be knackered mate.

Looking realy nice Blue.

Those car lifts look like nice bits of kit.

They are mate, rechargable and can lift a 27 ton refuse vehicle

I just love your work Blue, great stuff!

Fantastic work Blue...as always!!! Not sure if you motivate me or make me want to just give up and go home!

Bit like snooker...you make it look so easy....until you have a go yourself.

Keep it coming, a great build and cant wait to see it in the flesh

So, this afternoon's job, chop off the tailpipes, fit turndowns and a bung for my AFR gauge, sorted! If anyone wants the tailpipes for free, come and get 'em sharpish before they go in the iron. They are 2-1/4", well made and in very good nick, seems a shame to chuck 'em.

Yes please on the pipes Blue, will be able to use them on the Chally.

Funny what you come across mooching around the net...

Spooky! Great picture for the collection though. Have you decided on a new colour yet, or will it be staying as it is for a while? The white suits it well, especially with the black bonnet.

Thinking one of the 1968 Metallic Golds at the moment. Paint will stay as is for now, bonnet isn't black, it's dark green like the rest of the car was, guess they ran out of paint Wish they'd left it alone, probably had some great sunburn....

Next job, sort out the wheel tubs. For those that haven't done it before, this is a pretty major job, and even though I've done it a few times before it's not a job I enjoy. Fairly big strip down required, interior out, axle & suspension out, fuel tank out, rear loom out and deal with the brake and fuel lines that are in the way as well. You need to cover or remove the windows unless you like having small metal fragments permanently embedded in them when you unleash the grinder, I covered mine with thick cardboard.
You can see how narrow the stock wheel well is, what isn't apparent is how quickly it curves inwards just above the outer lip. This means unless the car sits pretty high, the tyre has to sit back into the arch a fair bit, not a look I like.
So, I'm all set to get cutting...
