Looks good :afro: easier to trace leaks as well.

Cheers, not much progress unfortunately, but subframe is back together now and have done a few other bits and bobs.



I seam welded the wishbones before powder coating too;

That looks spanking. I only stitch welded my wishbones. Are you poly bushing your subframe?

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Yeah, wishbones are polybushed, as is arb (not droplinks though, need to sort that) and got some powerflex rear beam bushes on it too, but nothing else. Hopefully it will be pretty stiff upfront :)

Nice. Is that a vibratech g/box mount I spy? Looks like a neat job on the battery tray :cool:
I've poly bushed the ARB, R32 whishbone bushes and new G60 and 1.3 engine mounts.

Good luck getting the engine in, it'll be a massive psychological boost to just get it bolted in.
Then skip around the workshop when it fires first time and idles perfectly :smiley:
