 Chassis build up - guide? Hi all, very soon I'm going to be building up my restored chassis ready to put the body tub back on. I think I have all the bits needed and a long weekend set aside. The only thing is, I took it apart about 3 years ago and I've forgotten how it all went..  Is there such a thing as a guide with photos anywhere? I've been digging online but found nothing of much use. Thanks!

Re: Chassis build up - guide? This one?  Seems to have become rather pricey, although it does pop up on Ebay second hand every now and again.

Re: Chassis build up - guide? I've heard it's not a good guide as it's full of mistakes.

Re: Chassis build up - guide? Cheers guys, I'm pretty sure I can figure it out but a memory jog would be useful.. I'm amazed there's not a decent guide online. I might take notes and write one if it would help people out.

Re: Chassis build up - guide? Haynes manuals are 10 a penny secondhand. Would be better than nothing if you've not got one.

Re: Chassis build up - guide? Joolz that's a very good point. I've got a few different manuals.

Re: Chassis build up - guide? Hi Sean, hopefully last weekend of the month if all the bits arrive in time. I'm living in Edinburgh nowadays! I think Martin moved to the wild west but any help would be useful, though I might need to buy a kettle for my workshop.
