More holes to fill with with new metal

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 .

Welcome back ADE....

BACK

cool. summers coming

So heres the mounts I have made and welded to the axle


And heres the disc mockup

I will get some more when i have fitted the axle

A few more pics off the axle rebuild

This is the bracket for the caliper tacked into place


All the caliper set up and tacked on

this is the axle fitted with the panhard rod fitted and the anti roll bar set up

Got the car back on the floor im just loose fitting the engine to get a feel off the parts i need then, I can get them made up prior to painting.

Hats off to you mate....another one survives...i really didnt think it was going to after seeing how bad it was....but its people like you who will make sure the cars live on.

there is still a long way to go yet

Great work on the body and loving the axle mods too mate
