Hi Neil,

Page 16 of my thread, open the pictures in a new window and the photobucket logo vanishes.

I jut welded some angle brackets to the rails and the diff I used u bolts but welded the brackets on the diff itself to stop them moving.

Greg,
Any shots of your rear away bar body mounts. I'm looking at the heavy right angle parts supplied and thinking I might cut some out of RHS closer gauge to chassis rail, and profile to underside.

Well guys so close yet so far, I am looking at a change of career again so have been busy trying to finalise that.

Unfortunately that means no nationals again for this year, although I might do a day visit to the show and shine if time permits.

Anyway, rubbing like a 17 year old and being ultra careful not to buff through anywhere is taking a lot of time.

Going to have a real hard crack next week so one never knows if I can finish it by June.

well if you are going to leave your current job I think it makes perfect sense to use up all your sick days before you go, should give you some time to finish the car .......

[EK283]

So,
Two jobs later I'm still not happy !!
I just can't find what i like for the hours and money. SEEK .com again.

Anyway, I think I have lost it in my older life, just obsessive and worried about crap i can't control, its tough in your mid fifties !!!

Buffing is all i have had time to do and as usual I cant do it normally, no not me have to do do it 3 times !!!!!

Its turning out good but bloody hell it's time consuming. Two doors to go, a bit of trim and window hardware and its done, or is it ?
