Shroud plastic removal

One thing I really don't enjoy is peeling the plastic coating off the body panels. However, today I had to do some more so I can look to finish the shroud off. Started as normal and then finished off by rubbing the excess with a cloth and some white spirit. It all cleaned up nicely and now looks really nice.

I finished the edges off with some rubber IVA trim. I will attach it with sealant and rivets next weekend - if the weather is nice.

Fuel pipe

As the fuel tank is now set and in place permanently, I attached the large fuel pipe. Was straight forwards which I was glad about because it looked and felt like it was going to be a pain. Anyway, two jubilee clips later and it's all sorted.

Indicator extentions

Just a quick job for today, I added the extentions to the front indicators so it passes the IVA. I will probably take them off when its through as they look too long for my liking.

Was an easy job, I cut off the nipples of the indicators, threaded the cable through the extention and the nut and then tightened everything up.

Rear panel, fuel tank, boot infil panels

So the hard job of the day was installing the fuel tank, boot infil panels and then the rear panel itself. After much checking I attached the fuel tank.

I then attached the infil panels and the rear panel. All was straight forwards but took a lot of checking. 

It really looks good now and only needs a bit of tidying up before moving on.

The rear shroud needs some more work before attaching permanently.

Stalks

Another nice easy job to start the day. I added the stalks which was straight forwards. Simply added two bolts to each and then sat the newly formed dash on top.

Handbrake finalised

An easy job to start with, I clipped the last part of the handbrake cable in place on the rear hubs ready for the rear panel.

Disaster!

While moving the car from my garage to my drive (25m or so) the trolley partially collapsed and one wheel fell off. I managed to wrestle it off the road and into my drive where I attempted a repair.

I think it's just too heavy now and in need of its wheels to get it off the trolley. My repair should hold but don't know how long for.....

Engine arrived

After being told no more engines were availiable, I found one online and it arrived this week. Very lucky!

Not at a stage to use it yet, but at least I've got it.
