Nice!

Not had the urge to replace panels with sheet alloy?? Just cut the steel out and countersunk pop rivet and glue the panels on? Lightness and old Skool:P

Ben just wondering where did you get the bulkhead box for the front, i much prefer the wide open look compared to the littler bulkhead boxes.

Thanks

Looking good. I plan at getting mine to the IMM as well and mine is already painted so I have no excuse haha. Having a work shop must really help though. Mine is all done on the drive which holds me back.

Cheers leaky, truth be told I'm lacking motivation to get anything done at the moment.
Body work is doing my head in but I can't afford to have anybody else do it forme so I will push on!

I'm bored of having to mod things to fit is all I think, I'm in no doubt that I will eventually get another shel and redo all of this work!

I should have a big weekend this week hopefully!

And scud, the bulkhead box was homemade, as are most miglia style bulkheads.

you what?! thats the best bit, take a step back and take a look at whats been done, its an epic build! if you've lost the motivation then back off it for a month or 2 and dont rush into painting it and trying to finish it if its not the way ya want it!

really good build, dont loose faith in it!!

Yeah! what you playing at why isn't this in paint yet!!!! 

 

As they say "Good things come to those who wait".

What thickness plate did you use ?

[benjy_18]

Scud, the real answer is too thick! I used 1.5mm and it weighs a ton, I would use 1.2 if not 1.0mm if I were to do it again.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think I've got to the stage where I'd like to be able to buy something and just bolt it on rather than fit and remove numerous times just to adjust other things for it to fit. I can't say my OCD and perfectionism is helping! Due to this I'm about to spend over £700 just on gauges. Not that I have a dash to fit them to yet!

It will get finish to the standard I want it, maybe not by IMM but that's the ideal goal either way

Updates!

Threw a bit of primer onto the rear quarter ready for a guide coat and more sanding!


Also sorted my new oil cooler out! This is where it will stay now!


Will purchase my megajolt kit next month then it may get a test fire on the edis alone !!

[benjy_18]

Pedal box and throttle pedal in!


Harness in (Ned to sort the anchor on the tunnel yet)


And some more bodywork done, but no photos because we all know what that looks like!

[benjy_18]
