First Step

After some dry days, I have managed to weld together a frame. I have to borrow an engine hoist to drop the engine back in to measure for mountings.

Mine was emission tested, MOT station said if it's a class 4 it gets tested if it's a class 3 then it's exempt.

That looks good Mole, bit of a bugger lifting the engine in and out though every time you need to measure something though

another reason to try to keep it under 450kg under 450kg class 3 mot over 450kg class 4 mot

I'm trying to to keep the weight down as I can hardly lift the frame now. If I had a bigger shed I could lay it all out, but as it's only 8 x 11, I have to pack everything away each time.

Not done a lot as the weather has been crap.

I did drop the engine back in, but realised the frame was going to be far too short. I cut the back end off the same day, and pushed the lump back about two feet.



I decided to re-design the back end, using a cradle for the engine. Will bend up another tube to match this one.

That's moved on from the previous time, starting to look good.

Thanks mate.

Between having shitty weather and pulling a muscle in my back, I didn't get a lot done.
