slight progress

[JakeH]

hello there,

only made a little progress in the last month or so due to working obscene hours and sorting uni related things.

got the headlight and diff mounts from saturn which were spot on, got the diff in and aligned with the gearbox, then took the engine out for ease of working and moving the car.

also got the headlight mounts tacked on and the handbrake mounts tacked on and drilled.

also made the steering column extension, used a piece of 1inch thick walled steel air pipe which worked out fairly well, had to replace a small piece with some solid bar where the column passes the front upright (the ones with the rear front suspension brackets on them)

next jobs are radiator mounts, harness mounts, flexi brake pipe mounts, roll bar stay mounts and seat mounts.

couple of questions too

am i missing anything that would stop me from painting the chassis after the above has been done?

and what thickness plate would people recommend for the roll bar stay mounts? im using a grp rear end.

has anyone had any experience with these seats? http://www.jkcomposites.com/7%27s-page.html they seem fairly priced and good quality.

also after many questions and thinking about things iv decided to go down the fuel injection route using bike throttle bodies and a microsquirt ECU. not sure weather i will do this before or after IVA at the moment as will be fitting a zetec afterwards.

some piccys for your enjoyment





Ta Very Much
