The Donor Arrives
The Shell gets put out for 'Recycling'
The Chassis remains inside for the front and rear suspension to be removed.Work has continued this week stripping out the donor to liberate the parts we require for the rebuild.
I have attached 3 photo's. The car on arrival and then the body shell left outside to be 'recycled' and the remains of the chassis inside with the front and rear suspensions still in situ.
This gives us an opportunity to photograph various important parts required from the donor whilst still in their original dirty greasy state and helps anyone undergoing a strip of the donor to see the parts in situ to help with identification.
All this relevant material will appear in the 'new' build manual.
I expect by the beginning of next week that all relevant parts will be lodged at Jigsaw racing ready for refurbishment whislt I continue to redesign the mould for the 'new' bulkhead. By the end of next week we should have all the various parts with relevant firms who are assisting and that should give us enough time to put the final touches to the new workshop before we set up the body jigs etc for a consultation visit from the SVA inspector and then take a break!
Off to Donnington kitcar show tomorrow, so if you are heading in the same direction we may see you, if not, I'm sure we'll be back at work on Monday to ensure that we continue to make progress.
Take care till next week.
