so i decided that the v6 wasn’t gonna be for me and my wife bought me this for my birthday  so i set about getting mounts done and figuring out if i could get it on the omega gearbox  the driver side went ok but i had a real bit off head scratching to get the passenger side on with the turbo and boost pipes ect but it’s in and changing plug number four is going to be fun lol |

Fantastic work, Looking forward to seeing more progress. There was a HA van weighed into George Gallaghers scrap yard Irvingstown before Christmas, It might still be there as he does not tend to bail unusual stuff immediately. Might be useful for spares? as in enniskillen ? |

so i wanted to move on with the arches because the reliant axel is wider than the van and i didn’t want to do anything drastic i went for the J style arches and they are a bit marmite but i think they work so when i marked out how far i could cut and weld with out burning the paint i started making the inner arches    so once i got it all welded and seam sealed i put some paint on but the same as the out side the correct paint code was to “clean “ so i moved on to getting dirty  |

Might be useful for spares? as in enniskillen ? Yea thats the one. Found it on donedeal there the last day, someone must have bought it out of the yard. Listed as Bedford HA van on donedeal in enniskillen. |

Wow, amazing to see this thread and little HA brought back to life. The fabrication work you're doing is bloody fantastic too - I really wish I had the skills!
What happened next?

This is the best kind of thread resurrection! Impressed at how well you're blending the new metal in and the Scimitar chassis is a surprisingly good fit, I would have expected it to be too big for the HA.
