    Managed to get the axle back on tonight along with my Gizfab panhard rod not properly adjusted yet only by eye will get a full geo setup once it’s back on the road Then moved on to the rad had issues with the original grommets fitting the half rad fitting kit so took some advice from @Claymore and sorted some other out cheers bud! Haven’t attached the hoses yet as I may get a different fan for the rad instead of the ones that cable tie through, also fitted the RW developments expansion tank

    So bit of a bigger update as haven’t posted in a while.. managed to source some livesports wings to fit the new wheel width still in gel coat yet to be painted also got the gearbox casing welded up where there was a crack then managed to finally get the engine in! Feels a shame to be covering up the ORC clutch & fly 😭 gave the gearbox a clean and sprayed it black then mocked up the turbo and manifold, also fitted the new catch can and lines along with the Cusco brake stopper now that the abs & p/s are out the

    So update time… suspension parts are all now back together, even though I’ve got to take the hubs back off to remove the backplates as I’ve just ordered the Willwood 4 pots which should be a nice addition! i also got the HEL abs delete kit fitted which was a bit of a pain with no instructions but worked it out eventually! Also fitted the new poly bush engine mounts the Kaaz diff has now arrived just still unsure whether to use my gearbox or now at the repair I found on it may be worst than I think I’ll try and get some photos to show… also ordered some br
