The build of the car is now dragging on. It has been in the garage nearly three years and at times it is difficult to get motivated. But I have to keep going and get it finished. I think everybody goes through this stage when building a car. |

This picture shows a
small storage area. |
This panel has neat curved
edges so it fits into the tubes. |

I require a removable
panel behind the seats so I can access the dampers and suspension. This is
the template. I clamped straight edges behind the template and cut holes in
the card so I could clamp the card flat. This ensures the template is flat.

This is the finished
panel in aluminium. The holes are for Dzus fasteners. The aluminium is 1.5mm
thick. |

This panel fills in the
space between the rear parcel shelf and the rear panel. |
It also incorporates
a lip for the rear panel to seal against. Note how it is neatly cut to fit
around the Dzus backing plates. |

This
panel is to prevent too much dirt and water thrown up by the wheel going onto
the wishbones and chassis. It is removable. ------------------------------------------------------- |
This
panel will be rivetted into position but the hole allows access to the steering
UJ. It will covered with a bolt in panel. Rivnuts will be used to fix captive
threads. ----------------------------------------------------------- |

The
panelling of the pedal box took a lot of thought. There was no obvious chassis
tubes to mount the panels to and I had to ensure clearance for all the pedals. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
The
template for the main panel was very complicated and took two days to make.
I made several templates to ensure the panel would be correct. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
