No we have done what we need for now the rest is for them to do :-)
Looking good paul, be a big step forward once the cage is complete
Once the cage is done it starts getting expensive again
what now!!!
We'll small update the car has now gone off to Custom Cages to have the cage fitted estimated time for return is 1 to 2 weeks then it will be back to business as usual that will be the turning point of the build I think
thank feck for that need to see it on the stages soon!!!
Yes yes don't go on lol
another amazing build on here, makes great reading, looking at the pics (more looking at pics than reading)
Should look a bit different when it comes back from custom cages
and the picture is where!!!!!
Yes yes I might be there Sunday night to take some
get to retro race in coventry!!!! today!!!
So the project has had a little time away from the workshop as has come back with some extra bits of metal shoe horned in the old girl
Thank to the guys at Custom cages we think we have got to a milestone with the project now still endlessto do
We had to get the scotchbrite out to remove some of the surface rust from the welding before we put some etch primer in to help it stay that way a bit longer
All caught up now from day one - lovely job
Out for a drive on a sunny spring day reminds me why I got this car
Noticed you've not fitted the dash bar! is this for the fitting of electric power steering ?
only after fitting my cage i then realised the RIX power steering kit would not fit because the bar was in the way
so i had to then remove it, after i had painted the inside. Not happy.
No custom cages left that off for us to fit as they weren't sure what we were doing with the steering column once we have finished arguing over the power steering we will fit it LOL
Small update started fitting the sill tubes for the Group 4 Fabrication stands allways a bit of a work up to fit

have you tried a pedal box in it with the tunnel fitted?
It should be fine "fingers crossed"
just looks close where the steering goes through the floor!
may need a floor mounted box!
Can you put some pics up
Of how you did the sill tubes?
Hexham and District Motorclub
Yep ill put some up for you the rears are going to be a challenge to fit
Cheers Andy's
Slowly but surely
Done some more on the sill stands tonight to be fair on Rob it's bloody hard work trying to get in behind the roll cage to weld them up but they are not going to fall out, we will be using a small amount of fillerfor all the imperfections of the new sill and where the panels join together but we have a good friend Andy that likes the idea of rub on rub off
A bit of blue silicon hose to help stop the stands taking the paint off the sill later

paul dont filler it use raptor stone chip with paint in it will cover all that and is very hard looks good though
You will have to get Smithers to think that way he's being quite perticular where I can have Raptor I want it in the foot wells too but he says NO
Near side sill tubes in
And we have made an extra support for the spit on the rear panel is now braced to the center hole in the rear parcel shelf sorry Andy it's only a minor mod ;-)

the rapror can be coloured so it can be any colour you want!
You try tellng him that lol
Just started putting the rear seat brace replacements in
And a small fillet accross the tunnel
We have finished the rear seat base/four link box reinforcing front plates, I had these made in one piece for each side as I didn't like the add on top piece to the original seat base, next stop is to get it on the spit again and finish the sill skids off then engine in "well mock engine that is"
Some more progress on the old girl tonight off side (RHS for Rob) sill skids fitted, front section continuous weld and rear section seam welded and a drain hole left in the back section then onto the near side
got wire sander
Tell him I'll give him a kiss lol ask him how much ? Cheers
