Proper Preparation Prevents P!@s Poor Performance....

For a while now I have been slowly preparing the bits that I will need to build this Cobra.

A Jaguar XJ40 was purchased and dismantled for the front and rear suspension parts.

This basically resulted in the parts that were needed ending up in a Deox-C rust removal bath.

You can just about see the parts through the murky water!

These are currently still soaking in the solution, and I will see what they look like tomorrow.

I also had a quick practice with my new Sykes Picavant hand held flaring tool. I must admit, that I was quite impressed for my first attempt.

Now I just need to get my head around what flare is used where!
