I’ve been waiting for cheeseboard to chime in about another stalled DSK build.

I have been working away at bits and pieces for the rear end. Should have some pics and update soon

Some rear suspension work that’s been happening. Torsion housing/ spring plate work. Dummy transmission to get everything set up. Top shock mounts removed and getting ready to fabricate new mounts, bump stops etc. Piss coat of black is not final paint, just to make things nicer to work with while setting up.

Thoroughly enjoying watching what you’re doing Rusty.

Obviously the road trip holiday got you some shed time credits.

Just about done with the shock mount/ bump stops for the rear suspension. These mounts have a 6mm plate on the inside of the chassis, m10 threaded and with nuts welded on for a good purchase. These were way more work then I’d like to admit but I’m happy with how they have turned out.
