Been a little while since my last update - some progress made, slightly beaten by the cold weather, but persevered 
All brake and fuel pipes now installed - routed the two fuel pipes either side of the Clutch master cylinder to give me plenty of clearance for the gearbox/clutch slave cylinder.

Getting heavy to turn the chassis - the wife is starting to complain. Perhaps I should offer some help!
Sick of riveting and pipe bending so I moved on to some spannering - trial fitting the front and rear suspension. The 4" bolt supplied for the top rear suspension mount is too short - will refit with a 4.5" when I reassemble - the shocks and diff bracket will have to come off before I install the diff anyway.

Can you guess the body colour I have opted for then?
I have chosen to replace bearings at all 4 corners - so rear uprights will need some professional help or a BFH to releave them of their old bearing shells. Any hints?
Completion kit due in March, so plenty of time to get the uprights fettled and then I can turn to look at what the engine and gearbox need........
CYA next time. 
PS - How do I add photos to this blog without using photobucket?
