Made a start on the brakes tonight but my front calipers are seized was going to buy service kits but it’s just as easy to buy 2 new ones only £59 free delivery can’t go wrong  so they’ve now been ordered 

hope to complete brakes on the weekend once this is done it will be time to start the bodywork 

sending prop to bar prop to be done not had a cost for this told them to sort it , as it has to be done also new uv joints being fitted

hope to finish everything by May bank holiday so it will be on show in Singleton park classic car show😀

Well here goes again ended up in hospital after last posting had operation but well on the mend now

so just doing small bits at the moment as not allowed to lift

so there will be regular updates from now 

Oh dear, well don’t over do it mate! But looking forwards to seeing the progress for sure 👍

Very nice job your doing there, I am just getting back to my manta, I'm also using a 4ha rear axle and like how you have put the watts linkage in, could you tell me where the 400 kit is from please

 

Keep up the good work
