yes mate it seems that way ,
the horrible thing is the missus ( ann marie) seems to be able to make more sense of all this than me ,
what i mean is she comes out with things like ,
" well were getting a house with a spare room , put an engine stand in and then u can build up the yb on your evenings !"
" you've already got the yb and techincally it wont be an rs with a ls engine "
" make your bloody mind up beef , if im saving up for a rollerbearing t4 for christmas , you best be bloody needing it ""
she is LEDGENDARY !!!!!
hence why i love her lol

ok peeps , todays update ,
got up eairly doors at 6 am and headed to rufforth auto jumble to pick up some supplies ,
came bk with
5 in grinder
assorted flap wheels and cutting discs
4 tins of upol red oxide primer
tin of thinners
safey gloves and goggles
sanding discs
assorted wire brushes
green scotch scouring pads ....
so .. the car was put in the spit the other day but didnt have my camera so this is how it stands now
and the surface rust its gained on the underside of the floor with being laid up in a garage for a cpl months
so saftey first folks
then time to get cracking with the wire brush
one side of the floor pans cleaned
so from this
to this
and with two coats of upol red oxide primer
and other half
degreased with scotch and thinners before priming
once both sides were done , it was time to make a start on shedding some of the unessacary metal from the rear end lol
so from this
4 cutting discs and couple of twats with a hammer
so with the majority of the wheel well out ang the mk 3 rear arm mount removed
thought it was only right to offer up the new wrc cradel
its going to take a bit of work yet , and theres a new flat boot floor to go in and the whole rear end to be cleaned down ,
going to have to speak to mark and get the full info to work out the location and more importantly the hight of the cradel as that seems the stumbling block right now ,
wenny said hes got a complete beam there so worst case ill mock up the rear with a stock beam to get a better idea of beam locations and go from there but im sure mark can help with locatings
ohh and when asking wenny if i can borrow his 680 hp yb ????
although he did say ill get a passenger ride lol , so cant grumble lol
tomorrows up in the air atm ,going to see what the missus is up to as havent really seen her in the last cpl days ,
so either an update tomorrow or monday evening !!
so chuffed im bk working on the car !!

the spit im using is made from two engine stands marc
basically once the mounts were attached to the car we slid the stands on with the car still on the dollys ,
we then simply lifted the shell vertically and the stands swung under the car into there vertical position ,
kinda difficult to explain if you get me , but a peice of piss to do
thanks for the positive comments guys
