Ha ha yeah thats my r32 one

Lift looks bloody fantastic but you're being sucked into Max's darkside & not building, just polishing your pipe

[ChaosMS]

Ha ha polishing my pipe

well just finished reassembling the rear calipers so now on with the sub frame

[wagon_1.0]

interesting design of sunframe

[ChaosMS]

HI Wagon, yeah I needed it to bolt to the underside of the engine mounting rails and also pick up all the suspension points, its a bit of a monster but it was the only way I could think of doing it, ive just finished the design for the hub carrier that ties it all together will posts some picks of that shortly

I have been suffering this too

[ChaosMS]

ha ha - I was going to ask have you decided to build one of the lifts?? - I have to admit its bloody good to be able to move stuff about again and work at a good height!!

I think I still need to send you some more drawings showing the layout of the laser cut parts if you are thinking of it

Cracking bit of design work Rich, it is great to see your model come to life.:-D

[ChaosMS]

Cheers Chris, yeah I am pleased they way they came out in the end - though it looks like the manifold is going to be fun to sort !!!!

[Phaeton]

Looking good Rich, but just get the bloody thing built or you'll mess another summer, but I do understand the build is as much fun as the drive

[Danny]

Looks ace

[ChaosMS]

Cheers guys, we are making progress again which is a good thing, and this time its going to be spot on!! with a bit of luck I will get it put back together for later this year (fingers crossed and piggy bank allowing)

[ChaosMS]

Lots of Photos for you guys today finally got the chassis back in one piece again and looking smart with the new connectors - which work like a charm!!

[Danny]

I like the connectors great idea

[Phaeton]

Brilliant work Rich, those rear arms look beefy, was it necessary to for them to be so big when they are only connected by 16mm bolts/rose joints?
