Making great progress Neil. It's very enjoyable watching the wagon reborn.

I finally got the chassis notched to sit the new radiator down to where I like it, need to make a couple of braces for the top then on to front suspension I suppose :roll: will put some of the brace back in at the sides of the radiator like I did with Frank to make it look a bit more like it wasn't molested :wtf:

Haven't had much time lately and it is freezing in my shed :roll:
Got the modified HR Crossmember mounted up and need to make an outrigger so was mucking around with some bits, I cut the tongue off of the HR out rigger that I had and then a bit of box, will form the box a bit more on the sides etc to pull it into a better shape.
Also sat the power steering rack into position.
Ordered engine mounts from CRS which should get here Wednesday, once I've got engine mounts set up and welded in I'll pull it all out and get it powder coated.

Just received the CRS engine mounts that I ordered, they don't look too bad sitting on my desk will see how they go when I need to use them.
They bolt onto the HR mount.

You have a lot more faith in CRS crap than I do ..........
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Thought I would give them a try, I made the ones for the Ute and I need to dummy the engine so I can get mounts on the cross member before powder coating
