Havn't touched this project for a while know been to busy with other things.
Well im back onto it last and hopefully nothing will get in the way.

Going to try and do all the modifications first and build it up without painting and cleaning then take it all back to pieces then clean sandblast and paint or powder coat everything then put it all back together as a finished car

Started on the scimmiter axle this week fitted mounts to suit the standard bottom swing arms then fabricated new centre swing arms, ive altered scimmiter panard rod to suit and welded brackets to the chassis rails .

The axle turned out not to be an LSD but luckily i had a spare lsd diff from a jag axle in the shed so thats going to be fitted in the axle
going to use Rover 800 disc's and calipers so by the weekend it should be done and i can get some pics up .
