Sorry guys for not keeping this up to date so let me amend by adding some info at this time.
When I last posted, the box had just arrived. First job was to unpack then inventory the contents. Turns out thats a pretty big job and takes up a lot of space. And trying to find a home for all the bits was certainly fun
Anyways I put together a frame to hold the body up over the chassis for storage when not working on the car.
When its time to work I push my other car out of the garage and slide the body to where the car was, giving me space to work.
The aluminium you see on the car is as the car arrived. It is all just sitting there, and not permanently attached. I will need to remove it all.
So getting on with the job proper, I started with the front end by properly attaching the forward alum panels and fitting up the front suspension.
Was relatively straight forwards with no real surprises. At this point I had not yet removed the cockpit aluminium.
For interest, the front end geometry on these cars is based on the mustang IFS from years around 2000. It is however modified somewhat with different length A-arms to the mustang to improve on bump steer etc.
As you can see, it is also quite adjustable.
