Well as you are aware i have now swapped the 'T' for a 'P',and have found that my lovely wife has taken a shine to it! So here is a thread of my troubles and problems that me and this car will take.Hope to get her back on the road soon. After we got Poppy home,we soon realised that reverse gear is a must, so monday night me and my lovely assistant set about taking out the box,only to find its different,damn, never mind swap a few bits over and hey presto, another gearbox without reverse! So a very dissheartened Phil went on the web for parts,as per usual, parts harder fo find ! So sleep it off lad, tomorows a better day, well it was! A phone call to PK, that aquired me a box, then a chance call to Bomber and hey presto an engine too.Yippe now the re fit, will post more later,much later..... Oh, heres some photos........ Well. its started, engine out , gearbox out, garage full of bits,and fed up of falling over beer cans!photos to follow!!! ;D

Well been at it all weekend, them Alachi57 kits are not easy, first remove all the old steering and suspension,then mock up all the new parts! But they dont realy fit that well,and when mechanically challenged,its a bit hard,even Marcus had trouble. So heres progress photos for prosperity..... rather do it than write about it ;D finaly, gonna fit these....

Are we talking about the arm that bolts to the bottom of the strut that the track rod end fits?
