I guess the question does come up: “So what has Grizz been up to while Nick is seen working?”
Yesterday I carried on with those jobs that progress the build invisible, not just coffee and biccies, but fitting, unfitting, measuring and cutting, filing, screwing, unscrewing etc.
Have raised the bottom of the instrument cluster to allow a full, clear view of them all.
Then destroyed the binacle.
Too late for tears.
Ultimately, it was a failure.
Number two for the day, after the side light mounting failed to deliver fully and securely for Nick.
Sandwiches for lunch, coffee, biccies etc…..
More planning, cutting, fitting, hoping.
Happy with the positions of dash switches.
Yes, that’s the lot.
I hope.
More cardboard and masking tape work to create the templates for the kick panels and tunnel panels.
Odd shapes and non symmetricalfit means it all takes time.
And more time.
Then transferred to the hardboard and a load of filing, cutting, shaping.
In and out.
Resulting in this.
At which point I pulled the plug on the day and came in.
My back was saying it was enough, and to be honest, no jobs needed doing.
A good weekend again.
No massive big bang progress shots, but many hours filled with small jobs.
Progressing.
PS. I need an MX5 Fog light switch, seems the one from the car is broken somewhat.
Have a good week all.
