That only leaves me 3 months Alan!
What with getting the hosue ready, buying even MORE baby stuff its going to be a case of spreading the cost and finding the odd weekend to work on the buggy.
After looking at the pics I posted earlier their awful, so going to nip out and get a couple of better ones

WOOHOO!!!!
Looking good mate. I have a feeling that your buggy might have a few of my old parts on? I could be wrong though. I think my parts have been spread out on a few buggy's now ;D
Looks like your keen also as you have picked it up and started on a few bits already.
Keep the updates rolling dude!

Which parts are they Jason?
After 'nipping' back to the garage i got a bit carried away and stripped the steering coloum, steering rack and the suspension set up :-\
I did take some better pics, although the gf has had a spring clean in the last couple of weeks and now I cant find the bloody lead to plug it into the laptop!
Women!

Top pic has a progressive bump stop, i've put these on my buggy, they gradually get stiffer the further they compress so you never really bottom out badly damaging things... plus it adds a little bit more antiroll characteristics on the back. They're worth keeping to be honest.
Which bolt do you mean on the second picture? do you mean the top arm roller pin? Or do you mean undoing the nut on the end of the shock that attaches it to the top arm?
Hope that helps!

The bolt only comes out from the front, you have to remove the oval plate, held by 2 bolts & then persuade it to come forward.
I think also the cones/doughnuts may have collapsed, that arm ought to be more parallel to the ground as a starting point & not already facing upwards. I think the bumpstops may have been added to help a set of tired cones/doughnuts.
As to the issue of only 12 weeks what's your point? ;D ;D

I started off with the pedal assembly you have but changed to a pendulum box.
It keeps everything a lot more compact and gives the passenger alot more leg room as the gubbins are fitted above the box on the drivers side. I went for it more for the fact of i didn't like the existing setup. Although i haven't fully modified the pedals yet.

As to shot blasting Bruce, no idea I'm afraid, but I know would/will pay out for it, it will save so much time in the long run. I do know a company near me who would shot blast & powder coat a Mini subframe all for £30, so I can't see a frame just shot blasted being more than £20-30.
