Wing Mirrors and Interior Panels

We got the wing mirrors mounted onto the windscreen pillars by dint of fettling, and then screwed them in place with some number 10 self tappers through the pre-cut holes in the pillars.

Here you can see the finished items.

This has taken us a little while on Tuesday and today (last night we had to watch Arsenal come back from 2-0 down against sp*rz).

We have also made a start on the interior panels. First thing to do is to cut out the paneling where the bolts for the lower seatbelt straps fit onto the chassis bosses. Here you can see Chrissy doing that.


We have also started drilling the rivet holes now we know that yes on the top edge just attach to the overhanging GRP of the body using small peel rivets and elsewhere use regular rivets to attach to the chassis rails. Thanks to Mark at WF for the advice.

We have also done a little work on measuring and drilling the body at the rear for the spare wheel bracket to mount.

The garage is a cold place to work these nights though.
