Shock fitting



With the completion kit collected, it included the very import shock absorbers, as they need to be fitted next to give the wishbones some support, and also means i can get the car onto the floor and support itself under its own weight so the engine can be fitted, as i dont want to do a TOP GEAR effort when they built a *cough* Catherham *cough* and knock it off the axle stands if we have a bit of a misshap with the hoist.

Again these were a relatively easy job to do, again ensuring you remember the reduction bush sleeves into the rear shock mounts, and then just bolting them up, making sure lots of copper slip is applied to the bolts,

also dad couldnt resist the addition of the headlights and the indicator mounting pods, we have decided to not go with the westfield nose mounted units, and go caterham style under the headlights as they look much better, but we have a few hills to get over to get the car to pass the IVA with these on, as they are no visable when you look at the car from 45 degrees, so some fabrication trickery will be applied to these by myself to make them visable just to pass the test,
