a newer improved looking butt, to put things back on the horizontal... also with the new arms and mounting points, the shocks I am using are sitting better. They used to slightly foul the rear uprights, now there is no such problem | |

Hadn't realised that it had been so long since I had posted...
Have spent time making the gearbox mounts and getting the engine level. Also have taken the block back out so I can finish the engine bay panelling. I have also artifically made the rear of the car llok wider a bit more like the originals, rather than following the frame only. | |

Well an exciting day, for me anyway, I returned home from work and had a box waiting for me. My new replacement rear uprights. I had done a swap with someone who needed mine. So this means that the whole rear end of my car will be SouthernGT... So I spent some time tonight and got one roughly on to see what it looks like | |

Wow, nearly a whole ten months between posts for me... well at least I have an excuse of somesorts, as I have been building this (well someone else did the bricklaying); this has resulted in me compeletly gutting the bottom floor of the house! Anyway, I finally managed to get some time on the garage today, and have decided that from now on its Saturday house work; Sunday garage work...
I finally finished off the basics of the gear shift (a sorry needs to be said to Fran for me being a grumpy git earlier this year). It's still got to be tidied up a bit, but everything shifts OK and I can find all the gears 1 through 6 and reverse is OK, but I may have to find a way to replicate the Brandtwood push down. Man its nice to be working on the car again instead of tiling, building door frames, kitches, toilets...... | |

I also managed to keep on going and managed to get one of the fuel tanks in, but I still need to fix it propoerly. Had to move the rear rail onthe GTD as the tank was slightly a tad too long and I wouldn't have been able to do the nuts up! | |
