I'll let you know up North Weald next July
Seriously yes its fine, also the pics dont show it but theres lots of plated strengthening in the engine bay area of the inner wings & the new chassis legs , and all are welded to a new crossmember up front..
But I will put back a floor area to some extent , it was only so heavily chopped out in order to get clearance for the chevvy front end & engine etc .. the poor b*stard got parkinsons apparently & couldnt finish it. Was in his name on the V5 for 24years & he was working on it for 18 of them
When you see the fabrication , the guys is clearly a dedicated & talented man , as well as all the welding he made the side door , tailgate, & bonnet himself out of fibreglass...
I will have a good crack at finishing it & would love to get it sorted enough for it to be a daily driver but its by far the biggest project i have ever done so we will see..
