Last concentrated burst of activity before I start my new job tomorrow.

I made up a couple of aluminium plates to stop the torsion bars sliding inside, also a small bracket for the 2 new fuel pipes (5/16" kinifer) which ended up clashing with the body so I'll have to redo that!


You can just make out the chargecooler pipes coming out through a new plate at the front of the chassis, I also ran new front and rear brake lines. Instead of the usual cheap rubber body gaskets, I bought a long length of foam gasket and made my own VW style one, didn't take too long, hole punching it as I went to line up with the body mount holes and then glued any ends together with sikaflex.


Body on! I also mounted the bonnet as it was taking up far too much space in my workshop.


The rear frame will get stripped/painted, but that's for another time. it makes a very good carry handle when lifting the body about...
