not much of an update until my trailing arm bushes turn up but heres what little work ive done this morning.
bought a 044 pump off (JAY) so thought id trial fit it into the cradle.

cleaned up and painted the steel mounts for the rubber bushes.

also painted the gearbox mount

also won this off ebay a couple of weeks back.

so i put it in the collection.

thats it for now hopefully a bigger update when my bushes turn up.
