A-Arms and struts attached with Elephant bushings and turbo tie rods, I had a problem with the new shocks i.e missing both locking rings. So I re-inserted the old knackered ones and stopped them bottoming out with some ABS piping.




Rear Konis attached and new wheel bearings pressed in.







Doors hung and inner panel cutout, the idea is to have the opening and use either perspex sliding windows or try and recreate the 911r leather pullstrap method.







Then all of a sudden the steering column was in and it was on wheels. I wanted to see how it looked on the Fuchs but decided to use the old skinny steels for shipping. I attached the old bumpers to protect the corners but I think I am going to have to sacrifice them and cut out the brackets and use to install the new fibreglass parts. The removal company used the car to pack 2 petrol tanks and some old seats but all in all it looked good in the sunshine for the first time in about 14months. The flat bed truck had abit of a tight squeeze! Should be here in about 6 weeks along with the '67, then time to strip it down again, paint, and then think about the drivetrain/electricals etc.
