Fuse box and steering column cover
 

I've been out in the garage again. At the moment it feels like my build is going together really well.

Here is a picture of the steering column cover I have made out of some spare aluminium. I have also mounted the engine bay fuse box.

Are the lights high enough, look a tad lower than normal

Yes they are well over the minimum height. The fog and reverse lights only need to be 250mm

Update
 

The next item I have attached to my build is the coolant header tank.

Here is a photo where you can see it mounted. I still need to fix the small tube in place somehow ( may replace this with solid pipe.)



I've been working on my dash as well I'm not going to post a photo of this until its done but here's a photo of my universal radius tool! Almost managed to get the radius large enough so I'm going to have to pad the lower portion of the dash.



I've also started cutting the ally for the inner side panels which I am going to cover in leatherette

I've also had the car fully up to temp and made sure the fan kicks in etc. all seemed to go well. Even had another quick drive which was fun! Must bleed my brakes properly.

Won' be long now for an IVA now Davey.....way to go bud keep pluggin

Looking good david iva next week is it

I Gotta think about starting my build again

Bit more progress
 

I've finally managed to attach my bonnet. I lined it up with gaffa tape to make sure it was held in place. I then made an aluminium template to help make sure I drilled the holes in the correct place.




I've now added my iva friendly bonnet catches



I've also finally installed my rear arches



I'm now ready to put the interior in .ie carpet etc. here is one of the panels I have made.



I will put some more photos up soon

Carpet ! You will be fitting a heater next.:p

Seriously,were your panels from Ghillam ?

The panels came from AGM. haha I might fit a heater!

I have the gillham bodykit. I am really chuffed with it, just make sure that you get the bonnet with the large scoop, I know that it's more expensive, but it gives a little more room above the engine, & looks smart. I have opened up the bonnet vent and meshed it off to help cooling. :D
