Through the I’d do a thread about the progress with the mini project. Front left corner suspension and drive shafts off, re built, painted and ready to go on. Replaced the A panel while I was there, surprisingly minimal surface rust and no rot but badly warped ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/01/19/371433E0-443A-4AB4-9C4E-557F55F87EB4.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/01/19/5C6B01DD-9BE9-430A-95ED-C97C36405CE8.jpg)
94 plus 8 in Westminster Green - I think!

It’d had quite a bit of work about 10 years ago, the A panel was holed roughly in the centre. I welded in a patch but that warped the full panel so I replaced it. The sill and two internal panels were all good. Got off lightly I think.

I tried to buy a Riley Elf from another pal but he wanted too much money for it. A month after he sold the Elf it was for sale again at a much lower price but 200 miles away

Lot of work today, spring replaced by moulton rubber cone (new). Bit of a squeeze but it all goes in eventually. New bearing, ball joints and most importantly nice shiny new nuts! Very pleasing ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/01/21/47B1CA41-9BA0-42D8-A1BA-D0B2DD16D863.jpg) On to the back now....
