Roll up, roll up.

Yesterday was a pretty good day.  Reflecting back, I did very little: fitted the fuel pump; built up the front suspension to check the top wishbone length; reamed all the suspension pick-ups to remove the powdercoat; drilled a hole for the side-intrusion bar.

Thankfully Dave was on-site an he achieved a lot more:  machined stainless inserts for the front suspension; completed stainless spacers for the dampers (top and bottom); fitted dampers; completed welding on front wishbones (once they'd been checked to give correct camber); notched front roll hoop and tacked in place; notched 'roof bars' and tacked in place.
So, that's a good day all-told.  I've now got the remaining suspension parts to deliver for powdercoating (wishbones x 6 [two spares] and the panhard rod.)  I'm then going to get a local fabricator/welder to finish welding the roll cage so Dave can concentrate on some other stuff, namely the side intrusion bars and the ARBs.  

I therefore really need to crack-on with the wiring - how many times have I now said that?
