Is that new book or new condition or both?

Heh - I didn't think of that!

New condition, Ron Campion Locost book (car is for the 750mc series) - not the Haynes Roadster.

Or Luego. They do a suspension "package" which appears to contain everything you need and price seems competitive.

Any updates for your gallery? I have been watching your gallery for ages now and using it as inspiration for my own build! (which I started last week)

Progressed slowed a little as I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks. Didn't completely halt though - I got some Cortina uprights/calipers and the required twin choke weber & manifold form eBay while I was away.

I got the transmission tunnel finished over the weekend though:

How's yours coming along?

That looks great Simon, I think you made a better start than I did! It all looks very accurate.

Thanks very much to everyone for the supplier reco's too.
