Got all the pan to body bolts in, the usual dicking around to get everything to line up but all done now so started bolting stuff back on, needed some room so bonnet went on, replaced the 2 factory springs with one single gas strut to hold it open, the springs were to strong for the light fiberglass bonnet, this seems to work better 

Wow , look at the beautiful fit of that lovely bonnet ! Better than original I reckon ! where'd you get it ?

Some more this afternoon.

started off making these blanking panels for behind the dash grills, quick coat of satin black and they look like stock, never been totally convinced by a piece of cloth keeping the flames out should it all go bad, and now I will have a bottle up front as well as the fuel tank I want to seal it up as well as possible.

Then just carried on putting it together, wiring in and dash together, then onto rear bodywork

After a minor issue yesterday evening when the new starter gave up after only a few seconds cranking just as it started to fire and oil pressure came up, quick swap out to an old used one this morning and it fired up, its alive Grin Cool  10 mins of cam burn done so far, letting it cool down then do the rest in a while.

Still quite a few jobs to do but it is basically a complete car now and ready to drive Smiley

So after focusing on the cabrio recently I am back on this again, its all sorted and on road now, been racking up some miles and all good so far, only problem I have had is alternator has intermittent charging fault Angry, and had to cut the front tow eye off the beam, it just bottomed out to often, mapping is just about done and next will be track time.

I had forgotten how loud a solid mounted no interior short geared bug is Shocked  or maybe I just got old Cheesy but it sure is fun Cool Grin



cheers Richie
