Thanks for the nice comments as fudge said i am a fabricator for a living which definately helps. I am hoping to trailer it into the workshop at work in the enxt couple of weeks to do all the welding on the rear and also try and get the tunnel/bulkhead all finished in one hit. Will then be back onto the front suspension again to finalise the spec of that

Cheers Dan

well my boss went to new york for xmas on friday so that ment the anglia came into work



Strut tops done



Towers tacked in place





I then added some bracing between the two to keep them in their place, also helps take some strain off the arches





Strut in place



And back down on the floor, finally with working suspension. I ended up welding all the 4 link boxes, strut towers and some other bits id cut out





Hopefully this week i will get the bulkhead/tunnel nailed as well

Thanks for looking

Any ideas on colour schemes yet?
Not overly keen on the modern wheels either, needs to stay retro imo
Work quality is stunning though. Keep going!

I have got some ideas about colour, possibly a blue as my girlfriend has approved that the wheels i think will be staying but will be powdercoated a dark colour

Well the last couple of days ive put a few hours in on the car, have made some fairly good progress. I hate making bulkheads, they just are a headfuck trying to get thigns in the right places. Anyway here are some pics





















Thanks for looking

Dan

Bit of an update, have been working on the car a bit after work this week so have made a start on the braking side of things, also finished off mounting the handbrake and a couple more little bits. So heres some pics















I have raided the caterham parts bin at work and liberated the master cylinder, windscreen wiper and a selection of pedal blanks to start on my pedal box







Thats it for now, more once ive done a bit on the pedalbox

Cheers Dan
