Quick call to Andy to check on progress with my kit, looks like the chassis will be ready the week before Christmas, and the body soon after. Hopefully I can get down to Plymouth early in the New Year to collect them. In the meantime better make some progress with the running gear! 16 December 2020 The subframe and control arms are back from the powder coaters. A quick inspection and they are all looking really good. The subframe brace and anti roll bars are not coated, just blasted. The brace needs modifying to fit the new chassis so iI will spray it a matching colour once I've cut it to size. The anti roll bar will be painted black. Will give them a good look over when I can get back in the garage but Christmas preparations are taking up my time. 18 December 2020 Grabbed a couple of hours in the garage, inspected the subframes and control arms for any pinholes or other damage and everything looks great. Moved them all up into my storage area so they don't messy, really need to have a bit of a cleanup soon. Got on with removing the pipes from the the rack with help from my reciprocating saw to cut through the pipes. Then a socket on the nuts and they were off. I applied some degreaser and used a combination of wire brushing and wipes to clean down the rack. Cosmetically it is in pretty shape. There are a couple of spots where the paint has come off which will get touched up when I paint the brake back plates with some brush on black Smoothrite.
