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.


Holes for front wishbones cut..


My Father came round and helped finish off the holes for the wishbones.

The drivers side went really well, and were totally spot on.












The passenger side didn't go as well but I am still happy with the results.

Fixing down the tub..


Fixed the rear of the tub to the chassis. Didn't want to rivet it so I drilled and tapped the chassis.






Wanted to go to Goodwood Festival Of Speed this weekend but couldn't get tickets late so next best thing, watching it from the garage.





Fixing the tub to the lower rails.



Think the cheap tap I purchased is naff, hasn't lasted long.
