Thanks for the welcome.
I will make an effort to get my pictures into photobucket or similar.
With regard to future works, I guess one day I will have to do something with the rear suspension/drivetrain. Currently I am running on a renewed Spitfire rear, 1500 diff, new UJ's, new wheel bearings, a new spring and gas shocks.
You hear so much about the Spit rear end not being upto much, but so long as you don't push it too far its OK. I don't go drag racing, and don't smoke the tyres away from the lights so it has been OK for me so far (touches wood hastily
).
I have done quite a bit of research on the subject of modifications to the rear end and quite like the sound of using either a Subaru or BMW diff with an IRS set up.
Problem is it would mean taking the motor off the road again and taking the body off (again!) Also funds are not very good for such projects at the moment so it will have to wait.
In the shorter term I have a hardtop to refurbish and will continue to replace bits and pieces with custom stuff as I go along.
Any body know if there are any other V8 Spitfires on the forum?
Cheers
Graham
