Don't worry, Lexspace will be back in another couple of years' time...

So lockdown for me ended a couple of months ago and back to work it was so progress slowed but it is continuing..... slowly lol , the front wheel arches are completed , I didn’t however manage to get a pic of them completed but here is the taped on mock up pic

[lexspace]

I have also fitted a new cam belt , which as you will see from the pics was ready for a new one , and alternator which had stopped charging , with all the front end removed this was quite easy and also gives me access to complete some welding required on the front end before reassembly

[lexspace]

I got distracted lately with another little project started ages ago , but I’m quite happy with the results

[dandam]

Cool lamp, but please don’t get distracted again

[BrettMRC]

All this "I had to go back to work" stuff is not acceptable - we need our fix of regualr madness!

Love the lamp, an acquired taste one would imagine!

My brain couldn’t cope with the lights pointing down instead of up though!

[lexspace]

So another good weekend spent working on the car , all the front end welding completed and the underneath of the sills welding complete too , quick sentence to type and read but actually involved a whole load of work lol , I’d say the welding is 80% completed now , even sent a couple of front end bits for powder coating this morning , I’m actually getting excited to be working on it again , as rough as 2020 has been it has helped my project
Sorry no photos to show but soon there will be ....

[james_TW]

Need more pictures. Need more madness!

[lexspace]

So another good weekend on the car and some parts back from powder coating which I have trial refitted tonight , most of it has probably got to come off again but I was excited to see what it looked like , I love fitting the shiny new bits

[Scrump]

more photos!
Glad to hear this is still going.

[Projectblue51]

[threadlock]

Awesome! More please!

Haha

It just looks odd because it is just a loop and doesn't go to anything - I'm not mechanically minded so I'm probably talking crap...

It does go somewhere - just look to the bottom left where you'll see two rubber hoses connected to it.

As someone said - most likely a power steering cooler.
