fuel tank mounts all finished off. finished welding up the siderails and a few more bits here and there, strengthened up the drop arm, moved the seat in 20mm to comply with the 381mm to the cage rule.its now 385mm,lol.. just need to cap off the coil over turrets,mount a battery box and finish welding the bumpers,get some window mesh,roof plate,and upper hip plates...    |

ok so you may notice that theres no upper hip plates, roof plate,underiders,radiator hoop,wheel protectors etc
i needed to paint it to seal the steel anyway,cos it may stay like this for a while.
there also needs a bar across the rear bars to protect the tank.

since i painted the chassis it has given me more motivation to get it finished as it started taking more shape and looking the part.. so today i fitted the firewall fill panels,hip plates,front upright braces,bolted in the pedal box and pulled the diff apart,bolted in the steering box.. trying to decide if its worth changing the axles to 5 stud so i can run 5 stud rims all round. i need to get the steel plate for the roof plate and the window mesh.. and once i get the underiders,front radiator hoop and wheel protectors done,itll be final paint and reassemble..BOOM!   |

todays effort was great.
roof plate is finished
front window mesh is finished
brake fluid bottle mounted
header tank mounted
diff head locked up
rear discs and calipers mounted
wheel protector bars fitted
gas bottle filled up and fresh roll of mig wire....
i dont have any pipe left to do the overiders or radiator hoop, these are the last things to do to the car before final paint and assembly..

Decent amount done Paul, Body looks great, looks sharp on the car.
Been meaning to ask, how come the gap in the middle of the bumpers?

 Is this the car No-grip - hope not, looks like it came through on Trade me allready? Hope not cause it will cost me cash as a couple of people bet me it would end up on trade me before it was finished/raced. |
