Finally started to build........

Well it is about a year since I got my barely started part built locost, many parts have gone and been replaced with other, hopefully better, components.

Finally, this afternoon, I actually started to build it.

Front wishbones are on, after a trip to town for 8.8 strength bolts. Rebuilt diff was going in till all the long bolts were not long enough. Is there somewhere where you can get 275mm long shanked bolts??

It is amazing how much I have forgotten.....

Is there a recomended build order - detailed too? Or a very full build blog that can be recommended??

Also, what have I done with half the parts I collected?!..

You can pick up a metre of 8.8 threaded bar for a couple of quid from your local fasteners supplier and nylocs.
