Cold air feed for the blower is fed from inside the passenger chassis leg, holes to the engine bay and outside sealed up, not perfect but the best solution we could think of

Sick.
Another good day up with Ben today
I started off on the mill, while Ben made some slugs to mount the fuel cradle onto.

Mocked up in the car for bracket manufacture

Picture looks squiffy but they’re straight enough in person

So this is for a Corsa B, which meant the roof bend wasn’t perfect for what we needed, only one solution, choppy choppy

Fit is much better, out with the drill, whilst I was happy using the mill, this needed Ben’s steady hand!!

Big roof hole

Played around with some door handles, maybe not the final version but something like this
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...af44c0d07c.jpg
Tempted to mill the centre out completely, now I just need to get the fibre glass doors cut out with the die grinder for the handles and locks
Boot lid next, ditched the hinges as we couldn’t find any hinges in stock to bolt to the boot lid and even with the hinges on you still have to cut the ones on the car off and re-weld them in a different position, see Iain’s thread, even after doing all that it’s still not possible to open the boot lid all the way and even then there’s no stay to keep it open. Therefore, Boom removable boot.

So the jobs are really getting a line through them fast, we are hoping that by Friday next week 98% of the work will be done and we can get it off to the exhaust place for them to do their thing, then it’s booked in for the plumbing to be done first week of Jan, hoping to see it in paint by first week of Feb.
I also learnt that you should never drink and order tools

Boot is way better like that than hinged. Great progress as ever.
