You are a gent, thank you!
Ah nice, thank you!
So ignore the JDM garage listing pic, they come as the hub pre-pressed into a new bearing?
Nice update!
Question: Are those new rear hubs? Not the bearing but the part with the studs? If so where did you source them please?
Any chance you would want to go through the thread and fix all the photo links? It's such a great reference for people looking at doing a restoration.
Dam photo bucket breaking the internet!
Just been reading through your whole thread today and WOW! Steve is a very talented fabricator!
With going metal on the front, I guess doing something similar on the rear is now out of the...

Got the car flipped over this weekend and made a start on the templates for the floor....

I do what I can with limited free time. Every little job just takes so long too!
While I wait for an opportunity to go get my tubing and some sheet metal Ive just been working with the cardboard and making up the panel templates, such a tedious job but I'm getting there, slowly!...
Chassis what now? :eek::no: tehehe
Hmmm... Probably best to speak to whomever I get to make it what they want.
Started measuring up and lining the prop tonight. Ive got it bolted up diff end and pushed in all the way to the box. I've then got the distance between those two points but do I need to allow any...

No idea yet.I can lift and roll it over on my own so not hugely heavy. I appreciate I've gone overkill on a lot of parts but its getting the right compromise. Its gonna be a hell of a lot of fun...
So over the past few weeks I've been putting in hours where I can working from front to back welding up all the joins. I also tidied up underneath the turret tops front and back and welded the joins...
I keep thinking ahead to what I'd love to do next but I have a feeling that once this one is done and finished (and when I say finished I mean running and shed loads spent on all the little parts to...
