Shoveling all the shite out only took one wheel barrow and a bucket’s load.

mostly cleaned out, x-flow in the wheelbarrow now, banged on the steering wheel, had to file off some damaged splines on the shaft, only needs a big nut now.

Focus wheels on temporarily, also a handy chock to stop it moving about.

Chrome looks good!

Reverse mounting the wellers make it look quite nice actually.

Would need a longer studs a spacer and some head scratching about the tapers for the nuts.

Focus wheels both on rear now, Note the rear of the roll cage is mounted to the fibreglass, Won’t be that way for long I tells ya.

Really tempted to see if it’s possible to drive like this, maybe flat fenders in black?

The more i look the worse this thing is put together, I think the steering stem is off to one side, the rollcage is a joke, the chassis a bit of a banana (although they were all like that)  it’s a curious mix of bolt on things that should have been welded and welded stuff that should have been bolted, and it’s all quite rusty. Big shopping list comeing some, needs new brakes all round for a start. The seats! they were bolted to the wooden floor at the front and then at the rear just rested on the mid rear chassis x-member.

The plan now is just get the body off and then make the shoping list, probably gonna spend lots at rallydesign.co.uk
