Mark Sibley of MDA, renowned for epic journeys, delivered first stage of my project to build a MkII. Mark was still his usual chearfull self even after 300 miles and the maze of narrow local roads to find our remote location.
My thanks to Mark for his advice and patience with all my queries. Is up to me now to get out the tools and get on with the job. I will try to post some details as the project progresses.
Here are a few shots, heater in position, basic position for cooling pipes horns and loom, also the pipe duct to allow installation of cables etc after the tanks and side panels have been fitted and finaly the footwell gaiter for the steering column.
I cut out the clearance hole with a hole saw, then made a 3mmthick ali ring and fitted it with rivnuts / tapped into the 40mm x 40mm. the boot is Ford Transit van gearlever gaiter cut and trimmed to suit. It works quite well!.
Hi Steve - thanks for the info and yes, there is always a great feeling behind accomplishment, no matter how big or little the job it's nice to progress.
It's a great feeling to be a part of the GT40 community, no matter who builds the car, we are lucky to have all of them to help fullfil our dreams.
Keep the pics coming!
Cheers
Chris

GT40 Mk I - Essex Wire #47
The Donnington show today was a chance to see some 40's for inspiration. The show was a great event. So here are a couple of shots, also a shot of some dash vents.

A bit more progress with the doors, doors and locks are a fiddly job but look OK. The mounts for the door catch plates still need smoothing and radius edges but sit nicely solid and will polish up.
The mastercylinder feed pipes need to go under the bulkhead and angled fittings were needed. This allows the adjustable pedal box to go to its full extent.
A few pics to show the items
Another batch of bits due from MDA so more progress soon
