Cheers Guys and Gal!!

blue ute, thanks mate I am very happy to be at this stage and by the way you can see the body lines when it is outside

Luke, go for it and put that fuel cap in, I have had the Earl's filler for about 14 months ....... along with some other hidden treasures.

J, to late mate we saw the post, thought you said you didn't drink

.

Bev, are you a "Kath & Kim" fan??

Frontend is all done, angle of tie rod is because it is still "hanging" on the rotisserie and the springs are not compressed. (only requires the flex lines for the brakes which are being made up and the clamps on the small end of the boots):

I bet your enjoying bolting her together after all the hard work. This is the part that always keeps me motivated. Looking forward to some on the road pics

Cheers Ben.

Made the alloy lines to the transmission coolers and polished them. This will probably be the last shot of the underside as it should be (hopefully) on its wheels late today or tomorrow

, the Earls fittings for the Braided S/S flex to alloy tubes have not arrived yet so they will have to be put on from underneath.

The Black Beast is rolling!!

yahoo! When the glass, doors, seats, motor, trans, etc... are fitted the rear should drop about 25-35mm and the front about 75-85mm, the end result (hopefully) will be a 40-50mm lower frontend stance (as it is at the moment the front of the sill is 15mm higher than the rear).
