Had a bit of garage time so rebuilt the diff unit (after sorting out the dowelling issue and other faults i found)
I then test fitted it into the frame

Also built the driveshafts ready for test fitting. Had to modify the hardy spicer joints to fit the flanges i bought so i can use the standard 4 pin diff unit

Looking very smart. I like the look of the front coilovers.

I am hoping the springs will be a bit more complient than donuts especially as i am lighter than the A series set up

Imagine opening the bonnet and instead of seeing an old tired A-series engine seeing this. It looks so racy and state of art, just wow.
