Have garage doors and a decent size space each end. It is a struggle, particulary last year when I painted underneath :shock: Fortunately, I'm not a big bloke which helps :thumbright:

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 :thumbright:

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 :oops:

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 :thumbright:

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 :thumbright:

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 :thumbright:

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