Looking great, If you have problems with striped screw holes on metal parts you could use Liquid Metal or its equivelent and then just drill and re-tap the hole Cool

Yep the suspension is terrible!! LOL

They could have made it accurate and had working torsion bars, but on the plus side, once its finished you cant see any of it! BigGrin

Nice work! BigGrin

Not much done here as tock me 2 hours just to do these flaps. I have no bending tool just use a ruler and a flat blade craft knife what i do is put a ruler along the hinge and fold the prongs up and stick it to my board with selotape and do same with the other and then interlock it and stick that so it dont move then i fold prongs alittle and place wire on top and stick that and fold prongs around and then get a flat headed screw driver and tuck it under not the neatest but iam happy with the result BigGrin
