Start..

Off, area needs cleaning up.. *cough*

Mostly clean.. Smooth bays can be a git to work on. My mouth was fully smoothed in hence the dust every where, mount was full welded around too so there's been alot of grinding down to get it flatter.. But i think the F28 mount goes a little father forward so should be ok..

Next get the box in and start lining everything up. Oh gonna plate and smooth the two holes too...

*cough* Damn filler and metal dust..

I've seen and fixed the water one, comes in around the ecu/loom bulk head hole..

If i had one i wanna re trim every thing in leather on the insides...lol

Great to see some work done on it benn. I bought the mag for your feature the other day, i also never knew the deal you had with the bodyshop. it's a great car and it just keeps getting better and better. I look forward to seeing it in the summer at some of the shows and get to say hello.

Thank you very much, it was a good deal all them years ago.. Wish i could get it as cheap now..lol

I'll be at every show bar Trax over the summer...

Look at all that filler dust :p

Did it all line up ok today matey??

Why does this have to be cut off to fit an F28 Gearbox ?

Keep up the good work Benn.

F28 hits the mount

There properly **** IMO, as Edd has said they leak water into the footwells for fun from behind the dash, the wiring is dire on them, there a pain to work on mechanically, they weight far to much, even the SRi is waaaaaaaaaaay under powered & the body roll is just comical lol

That's cause some one smoothed the whole chassis leg.. And around the mount.
Even a small skim of filler makes a lot of dust when you hit it with a flapper wheel on a grinder...
