January Update

So, it's been a difficult period in my building process.
I'm still waiting for Dave to furnish me with a bracket I'm sure I requested back in December, but hey ho, easy come easy go.
Motivation has not been high on my agenda hense the slow progress, but I have been chipping away at things.
Most importantly, the front end is almost completely assembled!
Just brake calipers and brake pipes to source and sort!
I also managed to fit the triangular chequerplate panels with the edging which is essential to preventing SVA failure, good colour too!



Finally I fitted the first of the two sections of trunking that'll hide the cables & pipes! Rubbed down and sprayed up in blue it looks quite good, a bit of spongey rubber stuff for anti-vibration and Bobs your uncle, ok maybe not your Uncle, but he must be somebodies Uncle? Oh just look at the piccies will you!?



So drifting back from the most recent additions, I waited ages for bushes for my bottom arms, apparantly lost in the post? But most importantly i had to remove the original bottom arms and get another set that I modified to allow me to achieve the correct camber.
I Just need to get some tyres for my white wheels and then I can use the guggy as a wheelbarrow! lol
