That was the original idea but i couldn't find a route i was happy with theres enough going on in the inside as it is, anyway its not like its going to be raced or rallied.

I like your way of thinking, it sounds like you have a cunning plan going on there, i had been thinking of a 8 or 9 for mine so will be interested in how you get on, ive sent you a Pm

cheers Bill

Plummed up the brake pipes, clutch pipe, fuel pipes and battery lead, i figured it would be easier now than later

Got the engine loom back after being stripped out and rebuilt so need to mount through bulk head and mount the fuse box

Fitted the other front brake pipes and started on the shielding re under arch etc

Bit more heat shielding for the exhaust

looking at the seat belts the mounting area needed changing as i,m fitting inertia real seat belts, so a bit more to do and beef up the mount.



The strengthening plate has been welded in place now

Sadly the rear sill had to come off again, i wasnt happy with the fact it didnt line up with the main sill, plus the seat belt mount had to be welded in.


Now fully welded in place, incidentally if anyone is interested in panelwork and welding search out Trevs blog on youtube, very good info.
