A slightly dull update im afraid, I have been quite busy building a stratos chassis at work so no time to play 
anyway
Washer bottle half made
Also won this item on ebay. I would have loved a 3 bar grill but the demand far too much money. This cost me £10 NOS item
And today have just won a 6 speed gearbox which i shall be trying to shoe horn into my tunnel
wish i had managed to get hold of it before i finished my tunnel

Another small update. I have never been a fan of the capri coloumn solution so am using caterham parts again as they are nice and simple and quite versatile items so pics of the new coloumn to modify
and i have started thinking about drop links, this is it so far
And the start of the tension struts
and very loosely tried on to check bend etc on them, i may try and finish them 2moro after work
The many uses of a 100e inner wing
Thats it for today

pretty much finished mocking them up now 
plenty of clearence around the wheel
started to look at th anti roll bar, I was going to try and run it through the exsisting tube at the front but there will be no room for a drop link unfortunately. This will need to be thought through again now
Thats all for now cheers

I have decided on what to do anti roll bar wise now so have ordered some bushes to use. Untill they arrive i have started on making room for it to run
slightly more room for longer dorp links now
Just need to modify the ends to not get in the way of the wheel
Also after thinking id fucked up on the air box mount i had to chuck the bonnet on to check. Thankfully it only touches a small bit on the hinge mounting so will shave a little off it.
Also a stroke of luck my 106's rad fits between the hinges
I need to put a bit of tube in the hole i made for the arb to run through and then i need the bushes to arrive

more money spent got a nice westfield heater through, i chose this mainly due to the size. It is a very small compact unit
And anti roll bushes arrived

Very small update im afraid as i have been busy buying a house
done a little bit of work on ARB again, nearly there now just need to order the proper droplinks so ignore the thrown together affair thats on there now
i get paid 2moro hopefully so will get some proper droplinks ordered
also these, won the lights on ebay for 99p, then spent £25 on brand new land rover lights. Just deciding what colours i want the lenses, im thinking possibly having them all clear but smoking them to go with the final theme of the car. My brother is in charge of converting them to run LED's and also squashing all 4 of the required lights in the the 2 lenses the lucky boy
thats all for now

Did a little bit more after work tonight, on the coloum mount. I wanted to use the original mounts as much as possible on this. But needed to redo it due to the pedalbox being in the way a bit and also my shiney new coloum
Need to tweek the position a little bit till its comfy, but fairly happy with it really. Also need to go and see my machinest mate to get him to knock something up to mount the wheel on the boss

Right then, some new pics. Not very exciting but at least it is a little bit of progress :biggrin2: Have started cleaning up the floor to see what needs repairing and replacing. So far both sills which i was going to do anyway, both rear arches, both rear corner pieces and a couple of chassis outriggers which i have cut off. I will be removing the jacking points as i dont have the right jack for them anyway, I will replace them with a more substantial jacking point for a normal jack.
remains of outrigger
The front end which i have started cleaning up properly to see what its like, and for 50 years old its bloody good underneath all the crap :thumbsup:
Need to get on with it quickly now as i may be buying another house very soon. Offers going in today :laugh2:
