well small update.. been waiting around for my mate so no real progress to list.. more of a parts update and to show how mocking up is looking

first up a quick look at the semi dressed hole

and how the frame will now sit (loads better)


the hubs semi fitted

and how the wheels should sit.. bear in mind i will have wide arches



really just waiting on my mate to weld a few plates in and make some mounts for the frame with me... this should be done this week i hope.. then we will trim the quarters and weld some suspension mounts in amd have it on the wheels by the end of april i hope aswell..

ive bought a couple bits aswell..
first up an f13 box

second up a cable gear shift set up (need to workout how to make the cables longer as they arent how i expected)(thanks for heads up ian)




bidding on a couple fucking wank worthy items on ebay atm so will see how that goes...one of them is owned by a member on here

Broad as its long although yeah, I'd have gone 53 south, 56, 6 north and 62.

Incidentally, if you'd have gone from where you were to the Mersey and looked over, you'd have probably been able to see my group of flats.
