Went up a couple of days ago to see some of the progress.



Was confronted by the cossie floor under the car.......



Image



Image



Image



Image



Image

You can see where he is folding up the excess so he can weld it too, wants to do it this way for more strength



Image



And lastly whats the front hole for on the chassis leg, this is looking from underneath at it, the other two i think are for the intercooler and the radiator, Beefy is this the one you thought was for the horns???? Let me know as billy wants to cut it off!

Went to see the car day after i landed, here it is, floor tacked in and starting to get there....



Front wings need the new inner wings in and a little extra piece made since the profiles of the wheel tubs are different.

Image

Image



Front cross member, will be all renewed and modified, just tacked to keep it in...

Image



Starting to weld in the floor pan...

Image

Image



The beam in so he could check out his meaurements were right and the wheels were in the centre of the arches...

Image



And the day job, rally cars in for front end!!!

Image



I am going out to help this week, ordered new front panel, rear panel, rear arches and outer sills, going to help out as much as i can and get stuck in!!! Cant wait, it will soon be up on the spit to get the rear end done..

i was hoping for xmas, but that isnt happening. To be honest mate i dont know, i want it done as quickly as possible but its all down to billy getting the fab work done, i'm hoping that it will be done and painted in two months, then i can get the suspension components powder coated and back on while thats happening i will get the interior in and when i get it all back, engine, box in, get it wired by someone and get the fuel lines exhaust made! hopefully have it done and on the raod for the summer. it better be!!! but i work month on month off so its kinda hard.....

Walked in yesterday and actually caught billy working on the car!!!



Image



He has put new inner wings on, cut them and rolled them flat at the bottom where they meet the sierra inner wings. He's making the part that needs to be filled in at the top of the strut mount. He's doen it already, cant find the pic of it tacked in! going to cut off all the old escort bits that you can see to the right and grind it all down etc to make it look smooth and flush.



Next the scuttle panel.......better go drop it off for him!
