Sal, you should see the inside!!!!

Been off work ill for a few days so I've been messing around in the cave, just Ben working on the manifold and sorted the edits module bracket







Manifold flanges started


Also had some AN fittings welded onto my fuel tank so I can start sorting out the fuel system plumbing now


Comments welcome as always

Ordered a load of AN fittings for the fuel system, shame that £100+ has only managed to get me to the rear bulkhead!!! Much more to end yet!

Should have my drivers seat by the weekend so I will get the other seat rail in. Then I need to finish off the passenger floor/sill area and begin prepping the interior for paint!!!

Luckily I have a 6 day weekend coming up soon so will be going for a huge push to get the interior finished with the roll cage welded in and at least in primer

Wish me luck!!!

Regards ben

Loads of progress this weekend!

Picked up my suzuka pro seat (drift works edition) so sorted out the drivers seat rails, then took on the roll cage!

Drivers side is all mocked up ready for final welding now so once the passenger sill/floor is done I can carry out the final welding on the cage

Few photos

Drivers door bars are all welded in now, will make a Start on the passenger sill this weekend then it's just a lot of prepping ready for the interior to be painted

'Bout to say! thought the gaffa tape didn't look up to it

[benjy_18]

Been sorting out the cage the last few nights, sanded it all down and gave it a single coat of etch primer so it's ready for paint once the interior has been sorted
