Insurers informed of all new mods.
MOT booked for 27th May.
So i have, in reality, 4 days to get it finished. Should be a doddle.

All extra bolts fitted into suspension brackets. American sizes didn't match my drill so made them all M10s.
Rear shocks fitted
Steering damper on.
Brake pipes all made up and fitted for rear discs but having a nightmare bleeding them.
A few steps closer but still a few jobs to do.
Front shocks
Handbrake cable
Steering arms
Bleed brakes

Not an officially recognised colour apparently Alex.
Just picked a fairly bright red.
