Hi Robo,

The wings are from a Luego Viento quite cheap too!

First side of the floor all cut. I LOVE the plasma cutter soooo much saves a load of time and alot less noise. As far as I'm aware all the box section has now been fully welded and now moved onto the floor and closing the sections with little squares.

Should have the floors welded on by end of play tomorrow ready for sanding and paint Tue :)

It looks like you have a shed load of room down the side of the gearbox. I noticed this on mine and I was going to box form the panel where the pedal box goes to grab betwween 2"-3" more space for my plates of meat. I think the feet need the room more than the gearbox:)

Ahh yeah i built it to the MT75 plans as i wanted to have the option of using the small Skyline R32 gear box or the larger R33 box. But you are right it might be nice at a later date to box out a bit more to give some more foot room or even a foot rest heh.

Updates:

Floor on!



Chassis half sanded down ready for paint guess what half!

More grinding on the rear section. Floor stitch welded on the inside and top of the firewall installed and welded in place. With any luck will get the undercoat on tomorrow.

But cant decide if i should just red oxide it using screw fix stuff or try and find some etch primer then oxide it then household gloss.....

Hi Eternal....
Good to see you on here again.....;)
I guess you're on another big purge after you're hibernation....:) :)
Robo's right about extending the footwell into the gearbox area IMHO. I did that on my build extending it by about 50mm. If you are thinking about doing it at some point surely it would be better to do it now before painting.;)
With the paint I would reccomend etch primer as it does what it says on the tin.
Just make sure you key the surface up and a thorough degrease beforehand.
