My motorvation with the car is now high. I can see the end and I am keen to get it done, I am working harder then ever to get it finished. I am very focused and I am spending nearly all my time working on it or thinking about it. Instead of watching TV I will read catalogues and research parts that I require. I am always thinking of what I have to do and what I will require to do it.
This picture shows the
passenger side bulkhead. It again has to be removable and has some funny profiles
to clear the exhaust manifold and engine mount.
------------------------------------------------------------
I will make a removable
panel held in with Dzus fasteners so I can have fast access to the starter
motor. i do not want to remove this whole panel just to get at the starter.

It is quite daunting
to be faced with a gearbox and a pair of chassis rails and know I have to
make a removable cover and clear items such as the seats and hand brake.
------------------------------------------------------------
I started by making a
lip that will screw onto the chassis rail with a vertical face which will
take the sides of the tunnel.
-------------------------------------------------------------
On the drivers side the
gearbox side screws to the lip along the chassis rail. Making the templates
again was not easy to get them just right and looking simple.

The finished tunnel.
It is very light and when bolted in position very strong. Cutting the curved
holes for the access panels took ages, because I had to file the last bit
to get a smooth finish.
