Been battling away with the tig for a few months now, it seems to take forever to get this far, still basic frame nearly finished.

Mark,

Transverse leaf springs at the front?

Edit - just noticed the engine mounts, so transverse leafs at the back!!

Looking good though. When I get Deimos back on the road, I'll have to amble over!

Keep putting pics up in the meantime

Nice set of hardware in the workshop there.

Any pics of it's supposed to look like finished??

It will be full IRS at both ends when I have done, next on the agenda is to get a handful of rose joints and knock up the wishbones.

Here's one with the engine in place.....


It will be pretty scary when finished.

I want it to look something like this !

Have to sneak the tools in... Nothing expensive, purchased via Ebay but you just have to be prepared to travel.

Stangely enough the SWMBO does not notice the big stuff, just the smaller bits and bobs. Can,t really work that out but payback today was being presented with 1 litre can of white paint today and being pointed at the french windows.
