Subframe Progress

Well, we are pretty much welded up now, just a little bit of gussetting to go and the front bar to make. Have pretty much finished painting the mounts, probably put another coat on them, cleaned up the gear selector and painted that too. Decided to leave painting the frame until we are completely sure that it's ready - possible alternator bracket to make etc.

Ordered Group 7 arches this evening, look forward to those arriving.

Subframe 99.9% Complete

Well, as you can see it is now 99.9% complete, the front bar is just to hold it solid until we have the turbo (need to buy another :-( ) to make the proper bar up.

When we are next working on it, it's going to be a weldathon to get all the tacks welded and strong, few gussets to do and then it'll be complete.

I'm selling my motorbike to fund the next bits - drive shafts, shock mounts etc etc. (GZ125 if anyone is interested??!!)

Subframe (Again)

So after a hiatus in proceedings we had a rethink and have gone back to the subframe. Ready to hang the engine to check clearances and then do the gussets on the rear and start the front bars (which are currently the straights coming forward).

Providing no distractions or complications it only should take a few more weekends to finish (fingers crossed).

Completed Doors



Both door are complete, and the final 'a' panel is on. Slight prep as you can see to do to the edges due to the crimper leaving a few unsightly marks.
