Looking lovely under there now! Real pain to do but very satisfying when done - what will you dowith it: paint, underseal? Cheers, Andy

First sandblast everything, then epoxypaint everything,sealer in the gaps etc, straightening of the outside then filler and painting.
Underseal am I not sure of but clear wax will be done.

Need a bigger fuel tank so I thought why not take two small and combine into one big Over 100Litres should do it.

Started with testmounting the Power steering today

[spitfire]

Mounted the engine and gearbox again because need to figure out if there is enough space (engine mounted 7 cm rearwards)
And figuring out where all the small bits etc will get mounted

Ofcourse I can post some detail Had to grind out some of the pedal box and custom make up a new mount in the front of the Power steering.
Have dissambled the steering box and cut and modified the steering (rod? not sure what it is named) because of the new parts, the steering wheel mounted directly to the original splines of the Power steering
Modified the top part below the steering wheel so I can mount the original mk1 covers and mk1 flasher/dip switch to the Power steering.
Can take some detail pictures when it is done if you want.
Modified the gearlever also with some homemade stuff on the original gear lever and modified a mk2 gearlever to fit
A lot of fabrication
