Small Update.

Not much done as of late. Got a bit done today thought, thought i would tackle some of the bodywork. Loz (Danster76's mate) is doing all the main bodywork like arches sills etc but i gave some of the small stuff ago. Not welded long and never done any bodywork before so here it goes!! Few pics.

Plated the hole for the loom as it now goes through the wheel arch.







Then tackled the rot at the rear of the drivers side floor pan.













Thats as far as i got this evening will finish off during the week.

Right then bit of an update!

Car went off to Loz for the welding. Hes done the drivers side so far, inner and outer rear arches and the sill. Sorry about the poor pics off the iphone.


Old arches cut out.









New arches fitted!

Loz having a cracking time!!







Also this was waiting for me after work yesterday, just trial fitted in there looks the part!!



Thats it for now, the other side should be done by next weekend.

Awesome project! Lovely read too.

Don't suppose you could take a few bits of the pedal box installation, as I've got mine to tackle over the next few weeks.

Studabear - Not 100% sure if your running a standard BC box but when running a FRS box you have to chop both inner wings (LH and RH). Also im going dry sump so i need all the room i can get!!

Jonny - Yeh slowly getting there, lost alot of intrest at the moment due to getting back into my cycling but once the bad weather is here ill crack on with it again. Defo get yours finished mate! From what i remember i was a nice little spec?

Davey Saff - No real progress if im honest, brought a roll over jig so just need to weld it up and get the car over so i can restore the underside. Apart from that brought a mint 1600i front ARB.
