After all
the suspension and drivetrain components, along with the chassis, were
painted, the re-assembly could begin. This was very satisfying, as over
a couple of weeks all the suspension, steering, differential and drive-shaft
components were fitted on the chassis.

I then made up all the steel brake pipes and petrol injection pipes. One of this trickiest aspects of this part of the work was trying to figure out where all the pipes and various clips actually go on the chassis. I created 2 diagrams as I worked all this out and purchased the parts needed. One is of the brake pipes and one is of the PI pipes. The 'H' and 'PI' designations are the labels numbers stuck onto the pipes as they were taken off the chassis all those years ago!

Finally the rolling chassis was complete - the only thing left to do is restore the wheels and fit some new tyres. Here are some pictures of the chassis before and after!
