Lack of updates. I seem to update one site, then forget about the other threads I started. My brain obviously came without a memory function

Anyway, here we go

While the saff (Louie) is being built, I picked this up to run around in

1.8 cvh. Yeah I know... but I like it It's a British built one, and is still in one piece!!!


Preped the engine bay. All new brake pipes fitted. The car's running the ABS power servo, but the ABS side of it has been removed. Coupled with the cossy brakes, I'll be able to make my vision go blurry when I hit the brakes, but without the pain of the ABS packing up every 500 yards


General front end shot. Cossy grill, but will be retaining standard bumpers. It's not a cossy, so I don't want it to look like one



Decided to paint underneath too. How long it stays this clean is anyones guess




Engine in it's new home. Still not run up yet as I havn't put the loom in. I know it works as it ok in the old saff


Then the suspension turned up. Spax adjustable dampers with there matched springs. 40mm drop supposedly, but based on what I seen of others, I'll have to wait and see. If it sits too high the springs will get changed.



All bushes are now Powerflex. It's not going to be an everyday car, so I can put up with the harsh ride now and again.


Around came winter, and I wanted the car back on it's wheels for storage, so on went the beam and diff


Along with some really shitty trailing arms, just to get it off the jacks




And that's how she was over christmas.


This year came along, and decided to sort out some rust I didn't know was there untill I went to paint it




The only way to deal with rust. Cut it out and replace it properly


On went the new arms too. All poly'd up. Rebuilding the hubs over next week. Have some camber shims to sort out the comedy camber Sierras get when lowered.

As Porky Pig would say 'That's all folks'
