The floor is in!
It only took about 150 pop rivets with a standard hand tool!

So surely it is time to get my chassis rolling??
I need to weld up the diff brackets
Cut slits in the handbrake bracket.
Other than that I think she is good to go.
Getting excited, dont want to be in work just at home working on the car!!

Mine Rolls, and steers (just) but when it comes out of the garage it will be to allow the Old Mondeo in finaly for it to be broken up. But I can't do that in my current condition so will potter on doing little bits and bobs. Need to take the passenger side panel off to do the exhaust.

Will be good to see yours out in the open

Can't believe it nearlly a year to this day my chassis kit arrived and she rolled out of the garage!
Manage to get the gf to help get the chassis out of the garage and spend saturday morning building it up.
Managed to get the engine and box in as well.
Other than being completed knackered I'm well chuffed massive milestone, it actually looks a bit like a car now when people come round!

Big question what next, get the engine running (need megajolt, carbs manifold and some wiring) sort the brakes, bodywork???
