right then folks after a forced leave of absence(working in the land of all things zook), i'm starting work on the old girl again.
well when i got home i wasn't too sure if she'd start, but charged the battery over night ang she started first time
, so time for a few lanes, followed by an afternoon down at the p+p, well the tubes that went around the front clip worked but not as well as i'd hoped, i was going to do similar to scottie j and trim the wings but after a momentery loss of concentration the front pass wing got stuffed into a low tree stump, hard enough to cripple it, crack the light lense and tear the bolt at the front though!
so the disc cutter has been out again and after an hour or so we ended up with this

these will be protected by some more tubes around them.
now back to the suspension, i went back to spoa on sammy springs whilst i had a think about what to do with the toy springs for the rear, so i've decided to use adaptor plates as per a yj swap and go ruf with missing links both spua, this has thown up one obsticle though the steering bar and drag link are just about touching at the moment (axle sat 1" forward now, and will move another 1 1/2" futher with the ruf so looks like the steering bars will need some too. with both axles moved that shoul give me about 6 or 8" over std wheel base.
another thing on the still growing list of things to do is to offset the vitara rims but thats a long way down, i think some fab and weld possibly some paint are on the cards too.
