I tell you what Fordsy,
I've been in your garage and it is small, but your doing an absolutely amazing job on it, especially with the lack of space and privacy. Looking great as always mate. Keep up the good work and the updates.

Cheers fellas. I did a bit more today but have misplaced the camera again. The front spoiler is riveted and sikalflexed on and i've stripped the black paint from the new front, slam and wing and given it a coat of acrylic etch primer. Also got a call from the delivery people so my new front struts should be here tomorrow. Gotta love the exchange rate at the moment.

Here are the pics I should have taken yesterday.

The front spoiler is riveted and sikaflexed on.





These are the bits I did today. Put four gussets around the radiator support panels. Two top, two bottom. Also made a cut out so the 2L radiator fits in again. The replacement panel has the cover and it ain't necessary for what i'm doing.



Trimmed the lower lip of the original front panel as it sat just a little bit lower than the spoiler.



Also did some trimming of the wing/front join to allow a bit more room for the front wheel.



I also upgraded the castors of the dolly. It is a million percent better to move around now, good enough that I can roll the shell outside if need be.

Hi Steve

Looking great and a fantastic effort plus the difficulty of performing this magic in a shoe box sized space.

Added a couple more gussets to the front. These go from the inner wing to the slam panel.



Welded up the fusebox as it won't be required.



Tacked the new plenum cover in place. I also welded in the round heater circle bit but didn't take a pic of it.

Mate that's some good work,it will be a beast when its finished.But where did you get you spoiler from ?

Steve

as you have welded up the existing fuse holder location why dont you fill the existing hole where the wiring loom enters the engine bay
not remembering what engine your going to run but I lowered it to a level under the line of the twin webbers

looking fantastic so far - it amazing one of our friends is building a GP4 Escort & the shell is the same colour

Nice idea Scott.

I'm running a pinto with twin 45s. Should be easy enough to move the hole if I can cut a rectangle section out and spin it around.

Thats looking great.

That's a great idea about moving the loom down too, it does tend to get in the way of fitting side draft air filters.

Yeah defineutly a good idea to move that hole that way it will be hidden under air cleaners. I'm spewing I didn't move mine. Keep up the excellent work Fordsy.
