Panelling (almost) Complete!

I just about finished cutting all the ali sheet out this week :)
Only the rear tub left now, which I'll save until I've finished fitting out the rear end.






Also atached my universal fuel sender to the tank (using riv nuts), and made a mounting jobbie for my relays (using a 3mm ali strip and a load of riv nuts):

Yet More Panel Bashing

Getting there on the ali sheeting now...
Got the rear seat back panel and passenger footwell panel done this week.


Also made myself a cardboard template for a battery.  I think I'm going to use an 063 size, which is about the smallest commonly available (and hence cheap!) size.


Still a fair bit bigger and heavier than I'd like, but if I make it fit it should be easy going to a smaller one in the future if I want to save some weight!

More Panel Beating

I've spent the last few weeks continuing work on the ali panelling.
So far I've done the tranny tunnel sides and scuttle bottom in 1mm sheet, and the scuttle front in 2mm sheet.










Still got the seatback to do (which is almost done), passenger footwell, tunnel top, rear tub, and side infills...
Seems to be taking me forever to do the panelling, but I'm sure I'll get there in the end!
