I spent 6 hours re-trimming and affixing my GRP side panels today which was a suspension off job.
Car looks exactly the same as when I started which is disappointing.... Cheers Stot

Arfon, I wanna know how he keeps his missis in check! Mines moaning like hell and ive only got the dry fit almost done!
Although it may have something to do with using her mark todd horse rug as an oil spill mat? |

I just promised her that one day she may be allowed to be a passenger in it and she lets me do what I like!
Tonight for example she let me take a look at the exhaust. I got 2 90 degree bends to hopefully marry up the manifold with the silencer. Not too far off. I think I will take some pie cuts out of the first bend here to bring it round to meet the manifold. Or put one of these in there. Pie cuts will cost nothing mind.... Cheers Stot

Another 'finishing touch' half way through the build....
Who can guess the full meaning then? Cheers Stot

Back onto something of substance today. I bought on ebay one of those GRP dashboards with the IVA curve at the bottom but it never turned up so I decided to make one out of the spare half hard ally I had.
To get the IVA curve I riveted the bottom onto some 36mm water pipe and rolled it round With the thickness of the ally and the spring back I get a 40mm diameter, so 20mm radius. I had to do this in smaller sections. You could probably do it in one if you have 2 people and a metal bar to rivet it to but I have a break in the middle of my dash anyway so you wont see any joins.

I am going to finish the dash panel in a synthetic burl walnut veneer so I thought I should test it out.
Really happy with that. The center section will be covered in red leather to match the sides and tunnel. Cheers Stot
