27th January 2012 – Build Day 5.5

An impromptu get together of James, Paul and Jon S following some unexpected evenings out of partners and a change of plan for Paul’s evenings entertainment.  So in true team style they both volunteered to invade the garage and carry on with getting some build done.

It ended up being a bit of an epic nights work finishing up at midnight but we got a lot of fiddly bits done.  James and I managed to get the rear panel blank cut out and fitted up which took hours of trial and error to get a good fit, end result look really good though.

While we were doing that Paul painstakingly removed the rear wishbone bushes to get rid of some more powder coat to see if we could getter a better fit.  Again all the hard work has paid off with the fit being far looser to cut down pre-load but still without any lateral movement thanks to the nylon bushings.  Managed to damage a couple of the bushes removing them but no problem they will be with us shortly next week.

Pictures to follow as they are currently all on Paul’s camera…
