![]() I got a different supply of evil gunge, and suffice to say that I was having trouble stoping it commign out
![]() So... The drivers bulkhead welding was finished, the seat back was fitted with rivits and not so evil gunge. The passenger bulkhead was fitted. The Trans tunnel main top and forward top have been put in using rivnuts ( how awesome are they!! ) I have started preping the headlamp mounts and have bolted in the pedal box for it's trial fit.. Even now planning the purchase of the bodywork before christmas. No photo's , will get one after the next bit of progress. brum brum brum... TT

![]() Had a productive two hours..
I cleand up round the drivers upper firewall and finished of welding round it. That went nice and quickly with the welder behaving itself. I then drilled all the remaining holes in the seat back pannel I am getting a bit sick of 4mm holes now. Anyway, that done I cut out the passenger firewall pannel and trimmed it to fit. spurred on by my progress I cut down the tunnel top to size, and with it clamped to the front TR chassis rail I tapped over the two edges which turned out quite well so far. Just needs a bit of trueing when I find my flat pannel hammer.. Quiet Chuffed, soon be onto something other than pannel work ![]() TT

![]() Well done Rob
![]() Drilling holes is a pet hate of mine. I bet you will be pleased when all of that lot is done, pitty your little uns are too small to swing a drill ![]() Expect like me, you are dagging to do some of the intersting jobs like setting the engine up ![]() Keep resisting the urge to drag the wiring loom out for a play ![]()

![]() Yet another boring update, but after digging at the back of the garage I found my spare 24V 2.9 and attached to was my spare throttle cable.
![]() I have also been finishing off and sparing the engine mounting arms over the last couple fo weeks and orderd 3mm plate to make up the chassis plates. Hopefully that will arrive before the weekend. Fixings have also been ordered to aid in attaching the bodywork. Also picking up a DOHC at the weekend, not sure what I am going to use it for. Got a bargain pair of refurbed front calipers on the bay, saves me cleaning up a set from the collection. TT

![]() Balls....
You know when you not thinking.. And you order something by dimension. And the 10cm wide x3mm x500mm plate was actually 10mmX500mmX3mm... 10mm is a bit narrow for my engine mounts to rest on.. ![]() Oh well.. Correct stuff on order. TT
