Carbon fibre

Slight change of plan and the scuttle is now carbon fibre wrapped and the bonnets going to be done too. I did the scuttle myself but its a tricky job so I think I may get a professional to do the bonnet

Fog and reverse lights now fitted. Also this weekend I drove over to Farnham and picked up the clutch fork from Bob Tucker, big thanks for that mate, much appreciated.

Petrol pump and filter

Ive fitted a pre-pump filter and changed the bracket that I originally fabricated from Ali. I was worried about metal fatigue and have used a steel solenoid bracket off an old beetle, then insulated it with rubber for grip and corosion protection.

Sheet Metal work......

Mainly sheet metal work this weekend. I drilled and skin pinned the rear shroud to the back panel and formed it for fitting. The Cleco pins (aircraft sheet metal pins) are a god send on a job like this for holding the metal before final rivotting....

The sides have also been drilled and pinned and next weekend I'll be final fitting the rear to the car. :-)

Bob heres the phots of the clutch fork for you mate, cheers for your help...

Hindsight and negative to positive!!

Not been a great time this week as I had absolutely NO idea about the spigot bearing when coverting a zetec to RWD  and was led astray (shall we put it!! very PC of me!!).  Soooo the engine and bo had to come out again. Ive done it stages of an hour or so each night to keep focussed. On the upside and having thought about it I dont need it in and it gives me the opportunity of doing a few more other jobs more easily. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS! :-)

Brief update (not much to report)

Not much to see but a lot of measuring and fettling's been going on...... Ive been looking at fittings for the fog and reverse light. They need setting at the correct angles to pass the IVA test.....

Got her outside again today to have yet another tidy up and reposition her for a better angle ...Oooo er missus!

And just for Geordie Mick heres a video update for you mate!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xun9TLpjzNw
