Last nights efforts
Pulled rear diff so i can move perches and put it under springs, also made some new spring shackles for rear.  extended shackle next to original   Can anyone tell me the easiest way to relocate the rear diff so's it sits back further. Say about 100mm pulled a big patch of fibre glass off floor and found this

Also been haven a go at the front end
Added a bit of strength to the chassis. still needs a couple more welds, but will be getting a mate to do those. I don't feel confident enough in my welding abilities to tackle the vertical welds on chassis. And he's got a dirty big mig. I've only got a baby stick welder  Have also removed front diff and springs.  Cheers Steve
