It runs and the brakes work. need to cut bumper for new tails and get them wired then figure out why the headlights arnt working hopefully a fuse

[Rankine]

So started doing this then ran out of cutting discs.








Need cut some more then weld it together. But need to go buy cutting discs in morning

I'm welding in bar along sides so it unbolts with the rest hoop.

Nice. Build a frame round the bottom and get it on quick release cam locks like the fibreglass hardtops.

Cool I was just going to use nuts and bolts wot are these cam locks not heard of them

Couldn't find the right words for it.

Got it mounted and refited the rear d flex shackles as the back was really low and I wanted to level it out.

[Rankine]

So I lowered the car....

Before


After


Undone the spring over axle conversion and fitted 2" lift springs instead

Got a low range transfer box on route to.

Car handle so well now can actually daily it

Also swapped a old carb head on so I could run a mechanical fuel pump. So its got new headgasket, waterpump, timing belt and fuel pump.

So it runs good now aswell
