5 minute(s) of a 74 minute read

Time for a bit of an update being as theres actually some progress you can see..i have been working on getting the paint right but theres no point posting

pics of the same door being painted over and over again..anyhow finally gettting the paint to look a bit more like it..

hopefully gonna get the van back on it wheels by the weekend and get on the outside painted..

new ball joints fitted..

being as i'm doing it on my own i went for fitting the subframe and then building it on the car..an hour or so and a whole lot of swearing later i'd managed to get all 8 bolts in  all was well in my little world right up till the last 2 bolts on the radius arm brackets..had to be the 2 that are inside the subframe that broke off                          so off came the subframe couldn't get anything in the hole to hold them so plan b came into force...angle grinder

just big enough to weld the nuts back on..

no one will ever know

got it on again and the brake and fuel pipes are on(only on plastic clips) though i'm still waiting for my metal p clips to turn up..

now if i can just find the box with the castle nuts in i can finish off the back end tomorrow...
