progress skewed

Well - things are happening slowly... but happening none the less.
  • Pedal box tray welded in
  • Fuel cell tray welded in
  • patch in floor welded in
  • started sanding the engine bay with the aim of prep sanding all the interior to the cage going in
  • massaged left rear turret for coil-over install - right rear still to do
The pedal box tray got installed slightly off centre...by about 5mm (at the most)  pure un-mitigated operator error - this will annoy me but will have no functional impact. Installed M8 Rivnuts for the willwoods to bolt up to.... had to fab up a tool as I was not going to pay $170 for a proper installer - mine was free.... and pulled the inserts up perfectly...
 
I will plod on with the various finishing - sanding - grinding - seam sealing and bashing things with a large hammer tasks (racing is such a precision sport) I *think* I have finished welding for now - yeah right
 
new email address for those who care - god does anyone read this stuff???
