Ok as promised some more photo's of the work in progress..
This is the start of the rear end being cut away so we have plenty of access to aid removal of the engine and 'box. As you can see quite a bit has been cut away which is good for weight saving! There is still quite a bit to finish to make it look perfect.
From this photo you can see how John has cut away metal to match the contour of the underside rear luggage area. This makes it look almost 'normal'!!
From this picture you can see the modifications in the engine bay. The rain gutter at the top has been removed and the bottom panel which goes around the gearbox has also been removed.
Just a quick photo of the whole car! Its getting there!!
The nearside cross member has now been welded in and the wheel tub has been repaired. The welds will be fully dressed back to Johns very high standard.
The offside cross member placed in for measuring up.
The new Autocraft front valence and NOS resevoir panel dropped in place ready to be lined up and tacked in with the bonnet on.
Thanks to Joe Gallagher we bought the rear slicks at the weekend! 6x26 M&H Racemaster, perfect for our Erco wheels. The front tyres will be M&H front runners!
How cool!! Every pair of tyres comes with this message!!
