Another day in the garage, having the day off helps.
@nickwheeler and I were busy from 11.00 to 18.30 with a load of fiddly jobs.
Some necessitated fitting and removing between 5 and 15 times…….. let that sink in for a moment.
After removing the original studs welded to the screen, I prepared the parts and started again.
Some gentle cursing, but eventually mad laughter and almost a high five.
I repainted the screen in position late in the day to get its second coat on.
Also the glass fixing strips.
Remember the kitcar Boogie?
Still dancing.
Pedal rubbers came, look great.
HOWEVER……
Brake master cylinder came too….. not right.
Everything is the same, except mounting face and lugs WTaF ??
Lovely.
Another great job Nick got on with was creating the earth straps for the engine and also the dash supports.
Brings new meaning to the term “over engineering” but, plastic cars can be pigs for earthing.
Threaded bungs he made, drilled, welded into the chassis, then all bolted together, gearbox mounting bolt for the engine.
Some Heat shrink in size large needed.
Of course all this gets disassembled once the fuel tank and exhaust are built in.
Maybe after that a final body bolt down.
Maybe.
