December 31st, 2008.

Since the last update we’ve moved house, which means the project is now at its third home.  Now I have a proper double garage to work in, so no more having to unpack and pack everything of value every time I go outside to work on the car now.

The major news on the car is that I now have a lathe, I’ve found getting people to make parts a frustrating exercise even with money involved, so now that hurdle is bypassed to some extent, now I can get some parts made, and the build rolling again.

Below are some parts that have come off of the lathe to date…

These are the parts for the top ‘A’ arms the bearing is a high quality ½” bore by 5/8″ threaded item (7 more to buy).

These are parts to the bottom ‘A’ arms they hold the poly suspension bushes.

These are the crush tubes that go inside the poly bushes, due to the bracket design I have they were all 1mm too long as supplied.

These are part of the steering column mounting arrangement.

More updates to come one of my new years resolutions is to do this more that once every 3 months!
