Catch up post 1

Alot's happened since the last post, in September, and although I've had some time to work on the car I haven't found time to post updates (so this is the first of a number of catch up posts - hopefully).

The chassis set up in it's new home:

The first major job was to trial fit all the suspension parts (although the rear uprights and front/upper wishbone ferrules haven't yet arrived from Fury Sports Cars - FSC).

First issue encountered was that the front lower wishbones wouldn't accept the Land Rover balljoints (the threads needed cleaning out).

Conversation with Steve (FSC) and a few days later a suitable tap arrived in the post.
The thread can only have been clogged with the anticorrosion material since it cleared very quickly with the tap.

To fit the suspension parts most of the mounting holes needed the powder coat clearing

This was done carefully using a round file.

Some photos of the results:
