Some of my parts from MadDat arrived today... Yay! The others are in the country, however ParcelForce, despite having posted me a letter (from their Lincoln depot) telling me to collect the bits from their Lincoln depot, managed to have one of the parcels in Rotherham. Give yourself a pat on the back, incompetent buffoons. Hopefully that will be with me by the weekend! So we have: Anti roll bar mounts Engine mounts Strut brace mounts 1200 - CA accelerator cable 1200 - CA speedo cable Steering box brace Gearbox cross member Turbo dump pipe and Brake servo and hydraulic clutch conversion kit

The other new bits arrived today ;D Anti roll bar Strut brace Engine cross member I'm well impressed with the quality of the parts, hopefully they will allow me to fit everything with ease I'll have to start coilovering the B310 struts now, need better brakes than drums up front!!

No updates for a while, but the cogs have been quietly turning! I picked up a C32 laurel rear axle for it the other week, which is now getting narrowed to fit under the rear and provide me with some much needed strength to transmit the new powerplant to the rear wheels. It's going slightly narrower than stock so I can fit some 185 55 rear tyres to stand some chance of getting the power onto the road. My garage arrives in 3 weeks too, so expect some slightly more interesting updates from then
