after a bit of as struggle, the basic chassis is now complete (without any mounts). it was a bit hard to get my head round the double angled cuts required for the front frame but it got there in the end!
and amazingly everything lined up really well and only needed convincing in to place by a couple of mils at most.....

I'm now off down the raod to haggle over a tatty looking sierra that has just had a sign stuck in its window..

will keep you posted

Alright, alright! pics to follow on monday

btw, is an XR4 (not 4X4) final drive any better than a normal sierra one? aside from already being discs not drums.. just haggling with the seller now

its worth paying a little over the top for a local xr4
