I haven't posted on my build for a while as other things requiring my attention have taken me away from it.
I have managed to weld up the right hand running board to correct the fit problem, but the rear up turned end has not yet been fitted as I need to make up the missing wheel house sheet metal that is part of the floor body that the rear wing fits into. It took me a while to understand that this sheet metal was missing from the floor part of the body kit I bought from John Heath which the wood arches locate on. Thank you Stuart for clarifying why I was having so much difficulty with this. It all made sense after looking at your pics and doing some research. The next issue was what appeared to be the rear spring camber which looked to be too much so new ones were ordered from one of our cherished suppliers of parts. These are in the process of being fitted.
I hope to be able to move things along soon as all my friends and associates are watching with interest and continuously asking "when will it be done" ? To which I reply "when it is"!
Cheers,
Stephen
