Sorry for the rimu spam, got the bedside tables pretty much sorted today. Might add drawers later but thats a lot of work tbh

Matching Tv stand and working on a couple of bedside tabes the same style at the moment

Rimu coffee table out of a slab a mate milled, legs are 50mm shs squares I mitred and tig'd up

Decided I need a proper fab table. Want it to be strong, stable and level. I've gone with 40 x 40mm box and a full 6mm sheet on top 2400 x 1220 The frame is under size to leave a 50mm overhang to clamp things to and I'm making the feet adjustable so it can be leveled wherever it sits.

I haven't had a good at it through the travel yet, by eye the arms look pretty equal so shouldn't change toe too much. First things first I need to build a welding table that I can adjust to get perfectly level. Then I'll set the subframe up on that level and square up the hub faces to ride height and make a jig. Definitely agree with making it high in the car so I can space it down. I'll try and sort a way to mock it in place and be able to run through full travel etc. Quite daunting at the moment with no reference points lol

Soooo.... Sorting this diff. I am thinking of making some plates to hold the hub faces square where they should sit in the wheel arch at ride height. Then with the arms attached I can position the subframe so it is square and centered and then just move it up and down until the arms are in the right position at ride height. Arms horizontal? I realise the hub faces will want to move in and out but you get what I mean. Genius ideas welcomed

Picked this up today Some where in here is a spot that will see it sitting level and square at the right height.......... I am not exactly sure how I'm going to find that spot yet but it is there

Worked out well, glad I did it now. Still have to do the other side

I cut the inside of the sills out so I can start with fresh steel, was unsure if this was a good idea once it was gone

My engine was mounted with Nolathane suspension bushes and the gearbox solid mounted. It is a horrid thing lol wouldn't recommend for a street car

I need to add a couple more bits to my frame that will hold the strut tower tops in place and then have a few beers before cutting the front end away leaving just the tower tops and the cross member floating in the right spots..

So I'm past the point of no return,
