Re-fitted the rear A frame, no dramas, then removed the rh coil and rear link bar to start cleaning up ready for paint, found a bit more welding 
also found that the bottom damper mount on the axle could do with being renewed. Will cut the little bugger off tomorrow and start splashing some paint around.
Happy to get the A frame back on though, complete with new bushes and ball joint.

Took it for the MoT... just waiting on a call with the result.
It passed! It needed a small amount of brake fluid but otherwise, all good!
I’m happy, and so is Mrs K as I didn’t get a big bill!

Photo of the installed A frame (like you don't know what one looks like !!)
Cut off the rusty lower damper mounting on the rear axle. Gave everything a coat of primer.
Treated the tank to a bit of good news as well.
1st of the colour coats going on.
My best mate for the next few weeks.
Feck it's been a tad warm the last couple of days. 43 deg C in the shade and there aint a lot of that about till late afternoon. Glad to get the boiler suit and gloves off.

Thank you.That's taking shape nicely!! Great stuff
I know it's not up there with some of the restos logged on LZ, but it'll do for me.
Got a lot to do on the body when I put that back on, looking forward to that part of it.
Just broke the passenger seat I had put it forward and then leant on it. It made a creaking sound and now won't stay in position

It seems I have stressed the mechanism so after stripping it and a judicial smack with a hammer, it has gone back in
Getting there! It really is looking good now
