New build in Swadlincote

[Short]

Well, bit of an update. Been a busy bee the last few nights. Ive re-made my engine mounts and gearbox mounts, because I wasn't happy with my first attempt. Ive mounted my handbrake, and the cable bracket at the back for the handbrake cables (3 times!!).

My radiator arrived this week, so ive mocked up some basic mounts, installed the headlight supports, installed the brake line lugs for the flexi cables, and put the back plate in for the steering column.

Then my bearing arrived, so columns in, steering wheel support frames in, steering rack mounts in and I installed the rollbar rear stays.




The laser cut parts for my pedal box and the curves side wings (by your elbows on the outside of the car) arrived this morning (only £37 for the lot), so I tacked it up at lunch, and got one of my welders to finish it off. had some dense nylon bushes lathed at the unit across the road for the pedels, and installed it all tonight. welded the side wings on, just need the 25mm wide top strip (only have 25x5 bar in the garage - too thick)

Changed my mockup of the diff support to a nice piece of 50x25x3mm S355 hot rolled steel, lined it up, and tacked it in place.

So basically, all I need to do is weld in my seat support rails, and then I can strip it back to the chassis to send off to work for welding, dressing, neatening up my iffy plates, and then iron phosphate and powdercoat!!
