Well me and my dad have had two full days on the car again this weekend, got the side panels finish trimmed, painted the inside black and bonded on with tiger seal

Also got the bonnet trimmed to match the scuttle and the scuttle fixed on with Rivnuts

Rear tub fitted





Then made a card template for a exhaust heat shield



Then drawn up on the pic, we had to rotate so it would fit on my dads cnc

Finished product in aluminium, I might still cover this in heat reflective foil, then it will be rivited on I think

Tidiest build by far!

I phoned Westfield parts and collected them from a show. They showed me on their model how to attach them etc. they are also pre bent.

Right I've had three full days on the car this Christmas, and hopefully two more still to go,


Santa brought me a gopro

Space heat foil stuck on the aluminium heat shield and bolted on



Exhaust manifold fitted, and even if I say so myself I couldn't stop smiling after getting this all fitted up

Next job Dashboard, I've been struggling with this, deciding which way to go, I didn't like the look of the equinox one, I wanted a carbon one but there's not one with an iva edge,

In the end I decided to make one with deboned sheet, easy to work with etc, as for the lower edge I'm using black pvc waste pipe, sounds crude but it's turned out sweet

Template first, I used 2mm coriguated plastic from wickes, was only £4 for an 8x4 sheet and can be easily cut





Fixing holes drilled and rivnuts fitted in scuttle



Rubber grommet and sleeve for steering column

I was in the zone and forgot to take any pictures, I cut all the switch and dash holes out on my dads cnc

Back of the dash



All fitted up for good hopefully, lower edge pipe trim fitted

Battery fitted and passenger footrest, I might block the battery off from the footwell with a bit of dibond

And a full shot for a change, starting to look like a car
