More Progress - Bodywork
Hi Guys,
Time for another quick update, managed to get the front wheels on the ground and sidepanels/scuttle/nosecone all fitted. So bodywork finished for now
for a while. Hopefully the rear will be on wheels by the end of this weekend, Just got to make up 2 bolts with studding for top of the rear
uprights....
Also my 1.8 zetec engine arrived and i have bought a fuel tank.. Also been busy sandblasting and painting all the rear assembly...
So here are some pics: (hope they work)

coming along nicely, have you attached the body work already? as a piece of advise i would put the bodywork on a late as possible during the build.
did you paint the fuel tank?

scuttle and nosecone will be coming off immediately, Just got to the stage now, as when im finished mechanically, its a quick job getting the bodywork
back on. Think im going to leave side panels on though and i dont think they will get in the way...
Fuel tank came like that, its plastic..

If your going for IVA, has the fuel tank got a certificte with it to say it's tested. Think there's something in the new reg's about
plastic tanks having to be certified.

If the plastic tank is ok for the IVA, where did you get it?
