HI All just a update on the car for you;
Parts are been slowly been located, due to the new Reg's, a new correct size rollover bar has been made, just needs fitting
a engine block has been aquired, along with gearbox cases ans housings, as the engine I have had will not work with the parts I have to go on the car and to keep it in the 1100cc class.
I still have a wishbone jig to make (which I have started) and up-date for the later back lower sus' arm's.
I am on the lookout for some of the MAMBER wheel rims, to build up a set of wheels for the car, as the original rears have long gone, if any one has any leads on rims, inner 4in-4.5in and 4in-6in outers with 16 bolt pattern for the MAMBER centers, I would be intrested.
will try to get some more Photos put up, but photobucket have lost my details and I cannot get to the ones you can see above, so a new account will have to be sorted.
regards mike

HI all well I see Photobucket has shut down the photo's in the thread, I will have to see if I can remamber which was which and sort out putting things back.
as for the car. there is a little progress in collecting parts, I managed to find some wheel rims to make up some wheels and picked up tyres to go on them, a new roll loop has been bent to replace the original, still need to sort out a whishbone jig, then the suspension can go back on
regards mike

HI All just a bit of a update, I now have some engine parts for the car, I have just been down the engineers shop to have them make some new rear plates for the hub's to sit on, as checking the one's that where on the car, I found that they had bent, both the L/H and the R/H plates had bent at both ends I have, hopefully sorted out a photo hosting site that I can re-load the phots back onto the thread, I will have a go when I have loaded up the missing photos please have a look hear; jawfish.proboards.com/thread/329/rear-suspension-gould-plateregards mike

HI All
well there is a result, the PHOTOS are back, wish I could get the car back together as fast, as I have collection of bits and now have to re-assemble the car to make some room,
Looking for 2 hen's teeth, a 970 crank and 970 cylinder block to make the car original-ish, or at leest engine CC size, if any one has, or know of anything lying under a bench, not being used, let me know
regards mike

Hi All
well!! where has the time gone as it has been some time and the car is still not on it's wheels, anyway I do have wheels and tyres, I have also have located a engine and gearbox's and as usual all the small bits and pieces need to be found or $$££ for, changes in life for me this year should get time for the Terrapin and hopefully get it up and running, then I can start on the other one, that will take some time and parts finding as there is less of that one than the Chassis 52 car, I will try to update the progress as things develop (at a faster pace maybe??)
regards mike
