Default A bit of progress

Well i've made a bit of progress at last,

Chassis has been painted, did that take for ever,
some of the body's been fitted and hopefully the engine will be in by the weekend.

Have you got your floors in yet? I have made a start on my bodywork and the sides wont go on with my floor in place, I have had to trim the lower lip of part of the sides.

Yes my floor is fitted, i had the same problem with the sides TT.

I used a flap disc and hoover to smooth the back of the fibreglass, i also rounded the edge of the ally floor.
