Latest update: Front shell mounted on our new jig - Brian Tonks - you are the man! The design mounts via the subframe so we can mount all of the drive train and suspension whilst the car is still on the jig and then drop it back on its wheels as a roller. We will be renting out the jig once we are done so drop either of us a line if you are interested.

Quick update - Brian has been hard at work. There was a bit of rot in the rear subframe mount which needed to be repaired but other than that the metalwork is in great condition. The jig was finished off and the detailed trimming has begun (and pretty nearly finished!). I'm over there today with the stripped suspension to attack some stubborn bearings and take the S2 battery box over. We were thinking of media blasting the suspension but since we still have to dip the doors we might just dip the lot.

Yes - shells were dipped to remove paint etc.
Been over to Brian's today for a bit more of a fix. Not the most interesting shot but this is the first weld of the splice - and done by me! Mind you, I blew through the steel on my second one so I gave the torch straight back to Brian!
Also opened up my new goody box from KW (thanks Danny):
Other than that, I stripped the drive shafts and covered myself in CV grease whilst Brian got on with the bodywork. Ordered up some new ABS sensors too. Wont be needed for a while but may as well start collecting the difficult to find bits. Having finally decided to keep it LHD, I also now need to source an LHD S2 rack if anyone has one.
