Aye Jim,
A wee bit of fine work there. Pm me after the dip. I will be your process Engineer. I will give you a few tips to use to save you from various problems that can arise before you start painting. Sealer, mocaps etc.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
Well the chassis was delivered this morning fitted to an excellent build table which greatly assisted in the RO-RO from the low loader.
I have decided to drill all the fixing holes and fit self clinching nuts before it goes for coating. Hopefully I will get the majority of them. I am checking off my list of parts and making a hole schedule along with a fastener MTO from the JW Automotive parts list and the drawings.
The wiring and plumbing layouts might take a while to coordinate but I won't be rushing in for the sake of it.

James, you need a smaller room in which to work on the car. You've got altogether too much space wasted around it

Space is not a problem.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
I'm with Jim, way to much space. Makes me a bit ashamed when I complained about my two car garage. Awesome, just promise to keep the post coming, we all like to watch.
I don't think you're alone, a friend of mine has had many of the parts for his 427 Cobra engine under his Mom's bed in her second floor apartment for the past 40 years. If you think it was hard getting it up there wait till you try to take it down when it's finished. Damn man you should have put it in the basement.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
The car is purely a project and is secondary to my main passtime which is flyfishing. The space was once my home engineering workshop until the tub turned up.
I have a builder currently working out a brick extension to the garage for me but I am really not fussed as I do not intend to do this type of thing again.
My next projects will be something different and occupy less of my time.

Hi Jim
Could you please email me a copy of the photo to [email protected].
I think I have an original wiring diagram somewhere?
The routing through the tub is another question?
Regards
Chris.
