PS - I think your visors are on upsidedown

Hi Sean

Congratulations on the 222. Keep the photos coming please.

Best regards
Tim

i am also enjoying your build, so keep the photos coming

thanks for the kind words guys, i will post some more pics soon
but im in need of some advice, the brass pivot block on the wishbone (you can see it on my photo above) is this ment to be fitted slightly loose to allow for movement?? so to allow the suspension to move up/down.
sounds a silly question but best to ask for advice.
cheers sean

you are correct, slighly loose, well mine are anyway!

hi all
not much happend since my last update (to much work )
just managed to etch prime most of the parts, still more to do.
waiting on mike.s hinges for the doors etc.
waiting on motion pack


cheers sean

hi all
well still waiting for parts etc , so i thought i would start on the body. started by counter sinking some of the main body srews, then had the bright idea of adding weld marks. trust me when i say O.C.D and weld marks dont go together.
i know the welds dont have to look perfect, but my brain tells me otherwise.
took me over an hour to do about 8inches of weld marks
will post some pics when i have a bit more done this may take a while
cheers sean

hi all
here are some progress pics

hope you enjoyed the pics will update when ive done some more
cheers sean

Sean,
Weld marks are time consuming to add. But worth the effort. I think yours look good!
