Hi Lee,

The rods and sods won't open for me at the moment. I believe I posted a question for you on there but don't have a reply. I'm now going on memory but I was looking for more information on the suspension. Especially how the upper ball joints were mounted. I think there were some sleeves that the ball joints screwed into. Any information on those would be helpful. JS

Hi Guys,
Its been a while, but have been very busy.
Car has now been shipped home as 'Nobody' has finished all of his fabrication work.
Trouble is, its now all up to me

No doubt there are going to be many times ahead where I am sat on the floor of the garage at home wondering where on earth all the bits go & how they fit

Pics attached of loading up for journey home.
Cheers, Lee.

Draughtsman · 27-04-2010, 10:21 PM

Some more pics.

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Mark,
Thaks for the kind comments, fraid I cant take credit for the welding & fabrication, it was all done by my mate who goes under the moniker of 'Nobody' on a couple of forums, mainly the Rods'n'Sods one which is where the main build of the car is, theres a link at the begining of the thread.
I helped where my meagre skils would allow, but I do all the CAD stuff for the fabrication, chassis drawings etc.

Cheers, Lee.
