After a few shows looking around last year i decided to try and do abit of loom hiding, so made up some tubes at work from stainless and fed them from the scuttle to the headlights region, Just need to make the loom once the car is painted
Along the way ive notched the chassis leg for alternator clearance as ive now decided to go with C20xe engine, Ive had one sat in a lock up for a few years so decided this was the right time.
I stitch welded entire engine back and inside inner wings,
All nicely smoothed also, Ive plated up most of the chassis rail holes and done a few repairs around the turrets which needed attention.
I plated the electrical inlet also and re-positioned where the loom will enter the engine bay.
I also had to replace the bottom section of both inner arches.
So dont all this, treated areas and then re coated with tetra shutz.
To check for clearances i fitted the engine in and out about 6 times including mounting gearbox to ensure everything sat correct and bonnet would close.
And finally for now the engine has been seeing most of my attention, as the body went off to bodyhsop end of january for paint.
Unfortunately the guy hasnt done a thing, so its back in my garage and moving onto a friends workshop for work and paint next month.
But here is what i was working on in the time the car has been away
I have alot of other parts ready but will photograph as i re assemble as most is currently wrapped up hidden away until the head is fitted with new followers and seals.
