Got the shell into the shed and up on stands.

Managed to find some time over the weekend to get a couple of bits bolted back on - drop link for steering and rear subframe.

Shouldn't take long now should it?!

Subframe was tight with the underseal!

Next job - fitting the rear KAD arms...which weight about 7 kg each with disks by the way!

Did you remember to put some matting/foam in between the subframe & boot floor? I remember years ago when a friend was rebuilding his Mini and forgot ... it took him a while to figure out where a rear-end knock was coming from :lol: :lol:

I used to do that at my old place in the Blue Mountains when working on my HQ.
Till I set fire to the rug with the extractors while running the motor. :lol: :lol:

Colour is:

Holden GM Impulse Blue Effect
987K
Dupont stock code X0372

Rug was in the living room. Wife swapped it out for another one so I thought "straight to the shed". I must admit it makes it comfy when working under the car.

I did build a Triumph 750 once in my bedroom when I was 19 - AND I painted the frame!! Parents had given up by that stage :D

Can't wait until I get more bits bolted on....
