Axle progress

The rear axle I'm using for this build has come from a rally spec Ford Escort Mk2 and so has a lot of stregthening and various bracketry and bits that I don't need for the kitcar so it all has to be modified or cut off to make room for the trailing arm boxes. I've been grinding and cutting on the rear axle casing for two whole nights now and I've cleaned up one end completely to the point where I can test position the trailing arm boxes. There's not much to show for two nights progress but at least it looks rather shiny!

Here's what the original setup was (left side of the axle)

and here's the cleaned up right side of the axle with the trailing arm box just taped roughly in position for the photo.
