    Crap, over 2 years and nothing had changed although had some time on the weekend to get more done. Side sheet metal all trimmed to size and ready to weld and paint, a couple of flap discs later and most of the surface rust is gone.
    Going to flip the axle back on top of the spring as i don't really need it that high, will be 40cm from ground to the underside of the chassis where as its currently 50cm.

    Almost a year since the last update, had intended to finish it last year but not much happened.
    My dad was fixing his car trailer and while getting parts he bought me a pair a guards , that spurred me to back to it.
    Made some new locating pads and welded them onto the axle, found suitable bolts for the spring packs as the others were rusted away. Cleaned up the hubs and painted them and tapped the new M16 studs in.
    Packed the bearings and refitted to the axle, guards test fitted and will be welding the sides in then ready for paint and new wiring and lights.

    A suitably broad statement to allow time, creative flair and other things to intervene as much as necessary!
