Default Assembly

Hi all,
Well at last I can start bolting parts in... Spent some time on the engine recently adding new parts and cleaning it up and it's come out OK I think.
I also got both side panels cut and bent apart from the rear end where it needs trimming.
Got some of the hard fuel and brake lines in yesterday and I'm hoping my flexible fuel lines turn up tomorrow with clips. If your'e out there Voucht going to place an order with you soon for flexi brake pipes.
Bottom floors are painted up ready to fit, pedal box all done and ready to go in and steering column ready to bolt in, so I'm hoping to have some good progress this week.
Still got to modify rear top wishbones yet but it's on my list.
Iv'e dropped the engine in just to sort out fuel connections and check clearance for all the parts and will be taking it out later this week. Ok lets be honest I just wanted to put it in so it looked more like a car...LOL

Hi Series Landy,
I got to own up to that one, it's not welded in yet..... So where do most of you guys place it?
To be honest I forgot to send the form away but will do it this week promise...
I have been looking at Aero catches to secure my bonnet when I get it and I believe you have fitted these, are they any good?

Johno

They are very secure, not too hard to fit, just took my time cutting the bonnet and then bonded into place.
I'm not too sure what to do at the front, I don't really want to buy another set but I think I will end up doing that.
Only idea I had was like in the Westfield Bonnet kit, using pins to locate the front of the bonnet/nose, however there is no lip like in the Westfield bonnet

Photos in my sig, if you need anymore I will try and take one but I'm a little busy at the sec (getting married Friday, away from Monday)
A few more pics here NTDWM

Vin plate is on the offside of the chassis not to sure exactly where but he manual says not easy to remove the number. I was thinking on the engine side of the outer top rail (upside down). May be wrong though.
