By front axle do you mean the front wheels? or the front axle mounting points?

So, After a rather interesting year at Uni, its time to crack on with Fudge. As of the last two weeks she's had all new spring hangers fitted and welded in...

Getting the spring hanger in and aligned took awhile but got there in the end.

Not to mention some photos of my family newly erected car port. I needed something that was going to stand up to the elements a bit better than the 6x3m gazebo that I had been using. Amazing what you can do with some assorted lumber. The actual roof is made out of a huge super heavy duty tarpaulin stretched and then secured with baton every 2ft.[frame]

Not to mention, its currently rigged up with 2 500w floodlights which come in very handy indeed. Not only can I see where everything is when it comes to packing up late, but They also keep me rather warm![frame]

A little bit more progress today, welded the rear spring hanger over panel on and repaired the lower inner wing along the box section. Not long now till I get the seam sealer and Gravitex on![frame]

A rather big hole here! I had to cut so much out to get back to anything thick enough to weld to.[frame]

I formed the curve with a hammer and bag of sand. Still needs some fettling but will wait till I begin to tackle the rear wing mounting flanges.[frame]
