Rear suspension settings/height.

Next job was to give the rear end its basic settings, make sure everything was tight before fitting the rear arches as it was going to be easier at this point.

I stole the below information off Ed's Blog..   Link below, if you haven't read it you need to its helped massively with my build.

Toe 1mm in on each corner80mm front ride height measured on side panel lower edge where nosecone touches.130mm rear ride height measured on side panel lower edge where rear wheel arch meets tub at front.The ride heights will take a while to settle from new damper wise :- road 3 clicks front and rear 6 clicks                        track 6 clicks front and rear 10 clicksthis is a good starting point

With the suspension all tight I added the caps to the bolt heads for the IVA and noted down the ones I'd need to order that I was missing.

Holes for front wishbones cut..


My Father came round and helped finish off the holes for the wishbones.

The drivers side went really well, and were totally spot on.












The passenger side didn't go as well but I am still happy with the results.

Fuel Tank fitting


My Father was available to lend a hand Saturday morning. I gave him the job of fitting the fuel tank as I had been putting it off for ages and I knew he would be good at it. 













A little close here.. Once clamped down I will check this again.

Brake/fuels line fixing, Diff install, engine in..


Didn't have all day on the car today, I had to do garden centre duties before garage time could commence..  :-)

Wanted to get the lines around the diff completed so I could take advantage of having my Father around to lend a had fitting the diff later.






With all the lines fixed in we could fit the diff. I got under the car to support the weight while my Father lifted it into place. With a few bolts pushed through the mount it held the weight of the diff.



Used the washers as spacers, then threadlocked the bolts and tightened up.



Loads of room under the diff for the lines.







We discussed how we were going to get the engine in and the process, before I know its in the car.  I wasn't really ready for it to go in but its good to check all the lines are free and fixings work.

Some action shocks taken by the misses..





There you go.. Its in..  The fixings don't meet up well so I need to investigate that.
