Time for the latest update... a lot has happened behind the scenes since the last blog entry. In short a lot of work was done on the fibreglass, as every nook and cranny needed attention. To add/modify the fibreglass sometimes takes 3 days, as the preparation, waiting for the fibreglass to set, sanding and filling takes a while.

I am now waiting for the adaptor plate to be finalised and the car is ready to receive the engine!!! That is the largest and last engineering component that might be difficult in this build... provided I didn’t screw up something of which I don’t know yet...

Last weekend I have managed to have all the brake piping fabricated and supplied. I now have all the components I need to have the brake/handbrake system working! Must say that the piping which the guys made up for me all look perfect. Should look nice in the final product.

A very nervous part of the body modification was the cutting of the front windscreen to make space for the door lip. Must say I put it into the hands of my very proficient brother who made it all look so easy. Now I can extend the doors to properly close up the gap between the door and windscreen.

The side vents are also now complete. Needed to build up new fibreglass to channel the air towards the radiators. The gaps are mostly closed up so that the radiator only sucks up cold air from outside and not "recycles" the warm air in the engine bay again.

Well, the next update should have some pictures with the motor going it... so till then!
