it's in at last

Well I finaly got it in the garage today after 3 weekends of clearing out!
Got the front suspension apart again to paint the front hubs in black rather that silver.
Engine cradle should be here this week, so I can get the supports and brackets welded in.... just gotta save up for the engine now....

What diff, driveshafts and rear hubs are you using? Is the rear uprights a part of the MK kit?

Your also better off using two wheels each side, as all dour down one side won't go round corners very well !!
Sorry could'nt resist !!
Looking good, the suspension bolts together realy quick to give you a running chassis which is very satisfying

I hope they are on the right way up, I bought it part built from a chap who got the starter kit. lol.
It's got a standard diff in there at the mo with push in shafts. Going to change to a lsd though as i'm putting an r1 kump in, so will need to change the spline ends for lobro joints to bolt on I presume.
It's got the rear uprights for drums, another reason to convert the shafts or it'll cost me another £110 for disk rear uprights :S

It's irs and all the bits are MK.
Very pleased with the quality of the chassis etc, it's all been a breeze to bolt together.

cheers chaps
I had noticed the bloke I bought it off had put the rear lowers on the wrong way round but didn't think about the fronts!
Are the bottom wishbones handed too?

The build manual is 2 years old as is a little spartan to say the least lol
think some of the pages are missing too!

I think Chris's is right, the top wishbones are on the wrong way round. Longer edge to the front.

hehe cheers mate, feels like it's going so slowly at the moment.
Work has been very slow lately, so not been able to buy many parts, has prompted me to bargain hunt a bit more though.
