Had a few hours on it yesterday,fitted new ford bearing into rear hub carriers,painted and cleaned them also.Just waiting for my toe in shims to arrive so that i can fit them.
Also new brakes arrived today.Evo 8 brembos and 330mm discs.
Hopefully have the beam bolted back on this weekend.

yes,stripped it with a wire wheel on a grinder and hammerite smoothrited it.Not the best of results,but the beam was badly pitted and the places around my area who do powdercoating are crap,so going to get a decent condition beam to start with and get that powdercoated eventually.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
What paint did you use on the beam/ shafts etc?
You have inspired me to do mine! I have wanted to do it for ages but not had the room and time. Finally got it on stands and going to make a start on sunday.

getting there at last! have now used 1 litre of celly 1 pack spray painting it and a litre of laquer so far,more updated pics to follow when the weather dries up![/QUOTE]
Did you cut a piece off a breaker and weld it in?

No mate,just spent ages shapeing a piece to look like original.It would have been much easier to cut one from a breaker though if i could have found one!
Sorry about the delayed reply regarding what paint i used! I ended up painting the beam with smoothrite hammerite as i couldnt get a good enough finish with 2 pack as it was too thin.The underbody is sprayed with halfords celloluse paint,its pretty good and only £20 a litre.

Back on its wheels at last! Dummy fitted rouse boot spoiler.
Started on bodywork.removing dents etc.
Gave the boot floor a clean up and a respray.
Dummy fitted the rouse front splitter,not a good fit though so probably fit the rs500 one i have.
Got to crack on with the bodywork now then get it painted,then interior,then engine tidy up etc etc!

Nice car chap ive always liked saffie's
like the look of the rear end now you've freshened it up im gonna use hamerite smooth on mine i think it gives a good hard finish , powder coat always chip's aswell as its too hard.
looking forward to updates.

Looking good mate. I havent touched mine for a few months because of working 7 days.
Cant even go in the garage to look at it, hate seeing it sat there in bits!!
