Full marks for effort that man!
In fact, 12 / 10.

What a workrate, considering this is in your spare time Terry.

Loving the updates, keep 'em coming. thumbup






P.S. I'm not jealous if your man cave. Not one bit...........

Update...
Chassis has been blasted and coated plus most ancillary components, I'm collecting tomorrow.
However... The dreaded trailing arms, which didn't look too bad or so I thought, have the usual, peppered tubes which will need removing and replacing with new. Going to have a good look tomorrow to see if it's something I can attack otherwise it's out to contract..!

You might want to look at this thread. I recently added to the thread with a WARNING to others to check them thoroughly after I got a fright. Before and after pics included. Thread includes all the info about getting the arms done properly. Hope it helps.

I have an off side trailing arm for an S3 kicking about if you need one.
