More Pics of build progress. In summary work to date - Remove body parts and hang from garage roof.
- Mount chassis on 4 axle stands with wooden load spreaders
- Remove engine and suspension
- Shorten knock off studs
- Shorten sway bar arms and mark for drilling (will be using a mate's pillar drill, thanks to Joe Tavani)
- Assy pipe work to evaporator and trial fit to mono
- Trial fit drier
- Cut all holes for air con and front sway bar (except those for pass through from plenum to dash - waiting on the "new style" RHD plenum to arrive)
- Trial fit sway bar (excluding linkage as waiting for these to arrive from Fran along with some other parts not sent) For the sway bar holes I have interference fitted two 3/4" oil seals into the mono and will hold them in place with Titanium washers which come with radial pre-drilled holes just right for button head bolts.
Have used a combination of Fran’s build manual and Chuck and Ryan build thread so far. Fran and his guys been v helpful and Chuck and Ryan’s thread is really superb. Also thanks to Chuck for answering some specific question for me. Best of all am really lovin' it  John |
