Actually got some spanners out yesterday........finished off swapping the front suspension on the roadster from an early IFS to the rigid beam. Was going to swap some leaf springs about to try and lower it but none of the spares I have are the same length, it has leaf both front and rear.Did a few more bits'nbobs on the engine and plumbing and finally got the steering hooked up, never had that before either!. Paintwork looks great, fitted some door handles/latches etc and finally spent a long time lookin and thinkin about the rear end visual look. I think it needs some kind of close fitting bumper to hide the rear chassis section, still undecided and until I know how I want it I can't fit the rear lights. Will think on and do a bit more next week.
