Today's progress

[Evilchap]

That's looking excellent Chris :-) Good work!

[Chriscooke]

Thanks Ben, as always the pictures make it a touch better than it is but thus far I'm happy

Where did you get the new bolts from buddy?

By the looks of things he's had his old bolts zinc coated . Looking good Chris.

[Chriscooke]

Cheers the bolts were from the car I broke last year and had them coated at a local place

[snops]

Cheers. Going through the same pain myself at the mo. My bolts are in a terrible state. Yours is looking good.

[Chriscooke]

All I did today was fit the anti roll bar. This wasn't as easy as it should of been due to having to retap the holes in the subby.

Looking good Don't say the pics make it look better Mucho impressed

[pointz]

Awesome progress Chris! Didn't stumble on any problems other than the arb? I am liking the colour too!

Thank you, tbh I'm happy with how it looks but going to be a touch reserved until I know it's alright and working as it should

Not really, I did manage to mount the lower arms on the wrong sides initially and didn't realise that the driveshafts are handed so got those the wrong way around first time also I've got to buy or borrow a tap to clean the threads out on my rear toe arms still as they aren't really adjustable currently hence why they aren't fitted.

Looks beautiful, well done.

Cheers Jon. This is your old subframe, alignment arms, lower arms and diff

[jon200]

Thought it might have been. I need to get arms again now. What were the joints like on the arms?

[Chriscooke]

Which ones? They looked a little tired but not too bad. I've swapped the alignment arms over for my bushed ends. The hub bushes were perfect still.

I may have some bits for sale soon but a mate has first dibs.

[Chriscooke]

Had some eccentric removal washers made by my dad and fitted today.



Fitted the exhaust



Filled the diff then fitted the wheels and played with the toe a little then dropped it to the ground



Proof that it moves



It's getting a once over and alignment sorted on Saturday by a mate

[Evilchap]

Looking forward to seeing it on Saturday then - I am visiting the same place with my daily

[Chriscooke]

Yeah Austen said that you'd be there to sort a knock what time are you arriving, 12:45?

[Evilchap]

Erm, I think he said to arrive at 1200 so that's the current plan We could get some lunch and everything, what's good round there?

[Chriscooke]

Will have a think and drop you a message

Seeing as I'd finished playing with the subframe I decided it was time to fit my GKtech coolant neck spacer. I preferred this route rather than cutting the top rad hose for the coolant temp sender




Just need to actually wire the gauge now
