Ok Time for a recap and update, due to photobucket destroying themselves I'll re upload some of the original pics of the project and show the updates now that the project is moving again.
As Purchased in January 2016
work started on the underside, it needed 2 new inner and outer sills and sills to floor joins
the usual rear beam mounts also needed attention
I purchased a spares car to cut panels from and to provide a good source of clips screw etc I would need, the car was then cutup and scrapped
I cut the spare wheel well out as I'm lowering the boot floor to create a lower flat floor to mount the petrol tank inside
I then fabricated strut brace mounts ( I already had a brace) and cut out and fabricated a removable front cross member
This week ive tackled the rear arches I've not done these before on a saph but its gone well enough, I've removed the double skin on the lip so that the arches can be rolled easier to fit the RL 5 wheels on I use
The front wings have been removed and bolt on version fitted but I've no pics for some reason that brings us up to present day
Also over the past few months I've rebuilt my original race car at a lower spec for my son who's 17 to race this year, the head, turbo gearbox front suspension, 6 degree rear beam have all been removed and more standard stuff refitted still on a T34 greens, coilovers tho !
