Fitting cage to see where cage feet plates need putting, better wheels on it, crossflow coming out ready for strengthening and pinto, using an old second hand sip mig it's proving a waste of money , gonna have to bite the bullet and save for new one.
Sorry about some of the pics I'm posting off phone it's hard to tell if they in focus, post better later
Looks a good project ,,, keep the photos coming

Nice project, these cars can be done on a budget just takes more time etc to source parts
Screaming 1300 mexico rep
Eating cash at an alarming rate!!
Yes I've had a year trying to get bits but it never ends, the Squires twins have been very very helpfull.
Time to start the engine bay the new mig is going to earn its keep

Race gp4 strut tops
I think the bonnet will shut!!
Gussets and chassis tubes in. If any one has any advice do shout up.
More or less up to date , dreading the thought of 5 linking it.
Just a 3 piece bulkhead to fit maybe a big tunnel and as much seam welding as we can get to will have to do for now.
Does this have to be in the resto thread?.
Been shopping at the squires twins again!!
Gen ford adj TCA s and 2nd hand ford roller top mounts I'm spent up!
I wondered when i would see this car again, If you remember I went to view it then spoke to you about it when it was for sale. That was via Rallye sport forum. I kind of wished i had bought it after you had too. Its looking well with the things you have done so far keep up the good work. I found a car and bought it last June, Just about finished the work i undertook over the winter.
Great stuff what do you have now? You had a very good black mk2 if I'm correct
love it , keep up the good work!!
Thanks for all the replies it all helps with the motivation, should be more up dates sunday night. Alan re those wheels what are they and how much?.
Some new updates from the weekend 1st up fitting a large gbox tunnel
Mark up and cut!!
Trial fit and tack in
Seems a lot bigger than before, we left a 10mm return lip to fold over and stitch from underneath later. Just stitched in from inside for now.
Also found some more tin worm !!
That's all for now next up 4 link boxes.
Now for the 1st of the jobs we were really worried about, 5 link boxes we did about 2 hours fretting over and rechecking measurements before finally gathering courage to start cutting.
Squires clubman 5 link kit
Tack fronts in and re/re measure yet again 780mm and 390mm taxing the brain very hard by the end of the day.
I'll be glad when all the bolting on can start make some space.
That's all for now 3 piece bulkhead and finish off underneath next time.
I have fitted a three piece bulkhead but forgot to take the dimensions of the heater matrix holes!!!
If you had any from the centre line it would be a great help!!
I was going to do it from the inside and drill out after?. I'll try and get them.
