IT IS ROLLING ON ALL FOUR WHEELS !!

 

put the car down onto all fours at 6pm today and rolled it out of the garage, ended todays work well as it was all prep for rolling such as rebuilding hubs with new bearings and ball joints, track rod ends and subby mounts etc anyway i am very happy with it and cant believe i got it done a day before my deadline.

couldn't get the ball joints to budge very easily, one came off with a bit of persuasion but i had to heat the other up for quite some time with the useful and regally used blow torch

Getting the engine sorted out soon by a sound guy at my work called Lee, he does all the engines at my work and he is currently building a turbo mini. we are going to build it after work hours, hopefully and i shall be helping him out. So happy i can get my engine sorted out by someone i know and trust, so that will be the next large step for my car the 60bhp+ 998 beast of an engine going in  :proud:
