Interior panels

We spent the day fitting the interior panels, this was another classic underestimate of the time to take - the panels are flat and fit perfectly in the sides of the car, so how long can it take to drill forty holes and fit forty rivets - surely two hours at most.

Well I reckon we've now spent a total of 10 person hours fitting them.






Working out where to drill to hit chassis rails. Needing to source black 3.2mm peel rivets, 3.2mm black regular pop rivets, and finally some really top quality bosch hss-g 3.3mm drill bits -





were some of the problems - but getting any drilling done down in the footwells was also a real pig - in one of the pics here you can see Chirssy doing her impression of a mole.

You can also see her wearing some expensive bose headphones as makeshift ear defenders, as the dremel-a-like makes a hell of a racket when trying to go through the chassis rails. Anyway job done.
