New Diff and half shafts on the way

Tomorrow I'm going to get a new diff and half shafts. The ones we bought first time round had the wrong size hub bearing. Pity about the cash but I think its the right decision. We will now be able to move forward quite a bit. Besides not having shocks we should have a rolling chassis by the end of the weekend. Pics to follow (My SWMBO has the camera)

I'm really excited about the project at the moment hopefully we will get alot done this weekend.

I'm still alive

This weekend I finally got back to working on the car. I have now put it the steering column, extended bottom link and rack. I've also done the front suspension.
There was quite alot of work involved getting the front wishbones backed out properly with washers, oh and before anyone freaks out the nuts we are using are temporary we will change them for nylock nuts as soon as we are happy with everything.


Its starting to come together at the front at last



Our pimping steering wheel that cost a cool R200

At last we have an oil pickup, this one came from Toyota and cost a small fortune but I was fed up with trying to find one. So now the sump can go back on.
