My Winter Upgrade 2011
Hi all,
I thought some of you may find my Winter Upgrade work of interest. I'm posting it on the SKCC site as thats were I'm most active. Just
using the link here so I don't have to post it in two places.
Anyway I'll stop waffling. Hope it is of interest.

How very dare you I'm doing almost all of the work but I am using Powerspeeds facilities (which is a godsend). They are doing some parts of
the fabrication (mostly the Tig welding) but to keep the overall cost down I'm doing the work.
The two key bits for me (and the bits I'm excited about) are the CSR style dashboard and the Vinyl Wrap. I will finish stripping the car
tomorrow ready for it to go into the Vinyl wrap workshop on Monday. Three days later it will emerge with its new skin. All I have to do then is put it
all back together.
While its stripped I am refurbing all four corners, rose joints, poly bushes. Powder coating the cage, wishbones, new dash structure and rack
extensions.
Lewis, no the wrap is not yellow, its........... a suprise

Looking forward to seeing the vinyl wrap completed.
Hope you've gone for something truly outrageous, like a Reg Mombassa designed Mambo shirt.

"Lost Weekend" would be truly whacky Neil.
It'd certainly be a case of 'once seen, never forgotten.'

No, the tube is 16swg thin wall and the inserts are a ali / composite. Its not structural so doesn't need to be "heavy". I
haven't weighed it but its easy to lift in one hand.

I spent 4 hours today dressing threads and putting the front end back together. To say it was a pain would be rhe understatement of the year. I was
hoping to make the final cut outs today so I can take the dash to rhe uphosterer tomorrow but that looks lost now.
I can see this dragging over the holiday.
