Photos for Friday 8th Feb 2008

As you can see the body is swung across on the engine hoist and slowly lowered onto the waiting chassis.
Nearly settled down into its resting place. Just a few careful checks around to ensure that everything is in the right place and nothing is going to catch.
The body now sat on the chassis and the hoist removed.

The colour of the car can be seen on top of the bulkhead. (It isn't the colour of the wings, thats the colour they came out of the moulds)

In actual fact the colour has slightly darkened under the artifical lights and when finished and put outside will look more cream and less tan. (Hopefully)
A quick shot of the rear of the car, waiting to be completed with fuel tank, lights etc.



As you can see from the above pictures, a good week this last week.

The body is now on the chassis aand is heading towards the final build.

The windscreen feet have been returned from the foundry and shaped. Now they head off to the chromers. Dash board will be leaving within the next day or so for veneering, its all going too well at present.



I still believe we are on schedule or there abouts, and could make the launch at the beginning of May. Still keeping everything crossed just in case though!



Would like to say 'Hello' to all our readers in Somersham, Cambridgeshire. If the progress continues in this manner we could actually see the car being brought down for its photo shoot before the launch, which is what I was hoping for.



Will sign off now as there are 'extra' bits I would like to get done and it's always better to strike while the iron is hot, so while things are going smoothly I'll get back to it.



See you next week, hopefully with the same silly big grin on my face that I have now.
