Been a long time but I have been tinkering.

Chassis painted with the KBS product, new bushes for the springs and hanger. Power steer box bolted up and finally new king pins.

Even managed to get the back end done as well.

Oops, the springs are done but I haven't uploaded the pics yet.

Too wet to work in the shed today, 37 mm of rain over night. Guess where it all is.

Previous though I put some nice stoppers on the front.

Managed to find a couple of the old rims to fit over the callipers so will have to keep that in mind when choosing new wheels.
If I ever get to that point, seriously been thinking about selling the project. Jag is already on the market. Just no time to do much at all.
As they say, busy as a dog at a flea circus.

I reckon an Effie is the only project my Mrs would let me do again. Even chicks dig them.
