Been slowly getting stuff done aswell as just buying parts. Doing little bits like painted disk bells and welding up my coilovers and test fitting.
Got lots of shiny bits in my toolbox too!!!!

Right mad few days. Painted all the rear hub assembly just need to get it all pressed back together. I ended up making my own brackets for the axle as the ones on there just werent right. So i added some welding pics and pics of how i set up to get the correct angle. Some of my intercooler pipes turned up today aswell. The front is now on the floor and the rear axle is located on the car onlny 2 watt bars left now.
And just to prove the sun does exist in wales a couple of pics of the car out!!!
Wheels on the floor first time since june/july 09!!!

I meant to upload the first picture last nite but as you can tell it was dark so i never got around to it. Car is now on its own wheels, front is sat on bumpstops, but springs should arrive on monday. I spent a bit of time cutting the bumper out for better airflow to the intercooler. I'm very happy with the results, just need to relocate oil cooler now. Enjoy the pics.

Gonna get as much track action as i can. Driving it over to N orway and Sweden in the Summer if all goes well. In the process of setting up my business online aswell, so fingers crossed this car will serve me as a overview of what can be achieved with my products.
Still looking for that cherokee!!!
