![]() It's gone all quiet on here at the moment - must be everyone out sunbathing
![]() So what is everyone doing to their cars at the moment? Chassis and 90% of parts are now painted. Got the floor cut out, drilled and cleco'd in place. Whipped it off last night and fitted the diff mounts so I don't forget to put the bolts in before I fit the seat back ![]() ![]()

![]() Have been doing loads of work David, catching up and promo stuff + sunbathing, finishing off bodywork out the back in the sun.....
![]() Done 600 miles in the car the last week: Last Tuesday car show at Sedgefield Thursday fitted new cams and plenty of running in testing, Saturday Newark Kit Car show Sunday Croft for touring cars - got burnt Monday Elwick Village car show Tuesday (tonight) car show at Bishop Auckland if anyones up in the area. The good lady has hardly seen me - and is really chilled ![]() But your right the forum has been quiet recently - probably the good weather and football and everyone's getting on with their build. Sure it will get back to normal when HAndy returns.... ![]() AndyH

![]() Measuerd up the engine bay and engine box. Tried fitting the engine in the bay but as the unit I was using still has the front diff fitted it was never going to sit in place. but the overall length from the gearbox mount to the front pully is ~116cm and that fits ok in the space by my calcs.
Also trial fitted one set of rear bones. And cleaned up a section of the chassis and sprayed it ready for doing the floor..... TT
