Looking really good Russell.

This is when I made my fuel tanks, the driver side is narrower due to the gear change and the water flow and return pipes going down that side. I installed a fuel sender unit to take some of the guess work out of knowing how many more laps can I get in. They are balanced together before going to...

Hi Andy, I'm probably stating the obvious here, but just watch that front lower lateral link under the starter motor in full droop. I had the same Albins bell housing and starter combo, and it didn't work, which is why I had to get them to custom make the one I have now. Mind you, I have chassis...

Thankyou Michel, fine praise coming from you, after seeing what you've built Neil, I'm sorry but I didn't keep count. Here are some pictures of the front radiator sub frame. I'm trial fitting it after the sand blasting. It's amazing how things distort. Then I completed it with the alloy...

Really good way of making the bodywork from scratch. Very Impressed. I'm looking forward to seeing you start the chassis work.

This is when I got my chassis back and then made the floor plate out of 3mm marine grade alloy. I used Sikaflex as well as the rivets. Flipped it over and started drilling holes. Lots and lots of holes.

Thankyou for those comments Howard. I will continue to post more pictures.

These shots are of the chassis stripped back bare so I can start welding all those places you couldn't get to before. Welding, Welding, and more Welding. Then it's off to the sand blasters and a coat of two pack paint.

Thanks Michel, I'm glad you like them. I'll keep going. These next pictures are finding the only place I can fit the extinguisher. Then I realised I couldn't reach the dash with the harness on, so I made a small switch panel. Actually I copied it off an M8E I found photos of. There's some photos...

A lot of hours spent getting all the fibre glass panels lined up with correct gaps as every body knows. Also cutting the three screens and trial fitting. One picture shows the door pins in position, and I made up some little tabs that hinge over the door screens and main screen like they used to...

Back again. Here's some pictures of when I made the water pipes up from engine to the radiator. I used a tricky tool that my mate Clayton and his Dad made. I call it a Crox tool, because being a plumber we used one to crox the ends of copper tubes before all these new fancy crimping tools and...

Clayton machined these locating guides out of some half inch stainless bolts and I made some pins that bolt to the body panel and they hold the body work in position firmly with nice even gaps. I also made up some door strikers that go on the front and back of the doors. You can tell Clayton...

I sort of left off when I was trying to sort out the fibreglass panels and get things to fit and stay in place.

Hi Chris, I don't know what you're talking about! The photos that Clayton has been forwarding on to me look fantastic. I reckon you're doing a great job, it doesn't look like shit at all. Both Clayton and myself love it and look forward to more progress photos. Keep them coming.

Hi Andrew, I hope so, if not, I'll use it to get used to the car and then upgrade later. Seriously, I think what you're doing is fantastic, very impressed. I've had Darren Sherman from Albins contact me a couple of times regarding your bits, plus Leon dropped in a couple of weeks ago and we...

Hi Michel, This is a test to see if I can get into my forum. I apologise for not responding, but apparently Clayton has been answering your questions in my absence. If this works I will start posting pictures of my progress. I will try and start where I left off. Things are going slower than I...

Yep, I have to agree with everyone. You've done a really good there Terry. Regards, Udo.

Very impressive, I'll be following this for sure. Regards, Udo.
