well small update.. been waiting around for my mate so no real progress to list.. more of a parts update and to show how mocking up is looking
first up a quick look at the semi dressed hole
and how the frame will now sit (loads better)
the hubs semi fitted
and how the wheels should sit.. bear in mind i will have wide arches
really just waiting on my mate to weld a few plates in and make some mounts for the frame with me... this should be done this week i hope.. then we will trim the quarters and weld some suspension mounts in amd have it on the wheels by the end of april i hope aswell..
ive bought a couple bits aswell..
first up an f13 box
second up a cable gear shift set up (need to workout how to make the cables longer as they arent how i expected)(thanks for heads up ian)
bidding on a couple fucking wank worthy items on ebay atm so will see how that goes...one of them is owned by a member on here
ahhhnearly forgot
this was my trip to the wirral

it was considering we had an hour walking around the wirral in a shopping centre next to a market because the lad was still at graft, then i chatted to him for over an hour.
sat nav brought us through a huge tunnel and through liverpool town centre on way home too... hense confusion.. anyone who has used a vectra nav will know what i mean

Broad as its long although yeah, I'd have gone 53 south, 56, 6 north and 62.
Incidentally, if you'd have gone from where you were to the Mersey and looked over, you'd have probably been able to see my group of flats.
