Day off work.. Time to crack on..

Needed a day off work so decided to spend the day working on the car.

Started off finishing off the wishbone holes. They were all cut just needed to make a couple more bigger.

Next it was time to trial fit the steering rack to make sure there was enough clearance.

Both the holes I had cut needed a little more tub taking off so it wouldn't hit the body.

All back together..

I picked a good day to have off.. Need some wheels on it now so I can roll it out the garage.

Nose temporarily fitted in the right place so I can fit the bonnet and get the scuttle fitted correctly.

I drilled the rails on the chassis, I ensured it was in a place where there was plenty of scuttle to hold it tight.

The scuttle was fitted and lined up correctly.

I then used a drill up through the hole to make the scuttle. I then drilled the holes and fixed it in place.

Bonnet rested in place, fits really well.  Meets up to the scuttle and nose perfectly.

Starting to look like a car.. Love the colour!

Next was to fit the nose. I predrilled one hole either side.

Once in place in place I marked the holes on the tub.

Then bolted it into place.

Cutting the Scuttle for column.

 The old man popped over today to lend a hand.. I knew he would be good at this bit..  :)

All measured up and ready for the first hole.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH......

Well its done, not going back.

I'm shite with a saw so left this part to my father.

We look a long time working out where to cut the first hole. Used draw lines, measured from the bottom and all came to this point so fingers crossed.

We were slightly out and the whole scuttle was being pulled forward by the paddleshift mount.  We took it all apart and decided to mount the column before the chassis mount to give us some more room.

It needs a little more cutting around but I shall wait until the tub is fitted and its in position.

Steering wheel temporarily fitted, my father marked out the adapter with the correct PCD. I drilled the holes but I need some countersunk bolts to fit properly.

Looking more like a car now it has a steering wheel.

Tomorrow I will try and fit the digidash to the steering wheel mount.

This little bugger still to fit.. Had a crack at doing it today but failed.
