So, brand new subframe. I know it's a pattern one, it's all I had access to. I will reinforce it and repaint it later.

These brackets I had for a long time on a shelf and I finally put them on

Now the rear valance. I filled these holes as I won't use them, and I also filled the the small cutout for the exhaust.

Also put these plates on, I guess they are lifting points?

The outer sills. I KNOW they are oversills, and that they are evil. But that's what I have. I cut them to make proper sills

 

Cut line

 

First try to fit, not too bad

Nice progress! 😎
Love it when bits go back on.

By the way the little plates in the floor corners are not lifting plates, they where for attaching the shell in the factory for building it or something, don't try to lift it by those points as it will just bend...

Thanks for the info!

More fitting. I had to move the hole for the lifting point as it was about 1cm off.

 

And done for both sides. Look so much more finished

Found an easy way to move the shell around

Then I wanted to install the brackets related to the fuel tanks. For that, I had to try fit the fuel tanks. And for that, the spit was in the way! So I partially got the spit off at the back to do all this.

I came with this way to hold the shell:

 

I could then fit these

 

We see that I also put in the brackets to hold some some a a boot board near the back panel

 

[dasupersprint]

For whatever reason I forgot to buy the other brackets that hold a boot board, those going behind the seat back. So I made my own.
