It's been ages since my last update but quite a bit has moved on with the car as follows.
Sorted my clutch woes as per my other post, this has been the major hang up, and I've tinkered with bits whilst Marty has been sorting the things he has needed to do - such as
Finished and fitted narrower seats both on adjustable tracks and nicely low in the cabin now.
The side pipes finally fitted
Have kept my options open about making these live, as there is an inbuilt muffler in the main pipe, and hence the larger gap to the body work.
And a deeper boot care of some fibre glassing work. Just an opportunity I took.
Think I gained about 100mm extra depth to the boot with this cut and shut.
Also finished is the re-installation of the underbody exhaust system.
So there is some minor work needed such as drilling the holes for the bumper arms and such similar things but essentially the car is now free to return home.
Have yet to finish off -
the revised loom alignment
fuel and vapour connections
finalise fitting up the manifold and other engine bits
and then hopefully a "new" engine first start can be on the cards
In reality not a small list of jobs but it is getting closer.
Enjoy
