Swiss Cheese

Doors - doors - doors - spent a few hours making swiss cheese out of the doors - 1 1/4" hole saw and a whole lot cutting fluid. About 100 holes per door into the frames - managed not to stuff the outer skins... I still have one frame to do then its about a days worth of finishing per door to get them ready for paint.... also removed the side intrusion bars from all the doors. Not sure of the wieght saving but I cant take much more out of the doors and have them still able to function as doors (and comply with the rule book - they must have a finished door card on them )-

nothing happens fast - but fast things do happen

Progress?!

Stunned! - Well I am tired out anyway - I spent all last week working on the car - The body shell has been sanded ready for paint - inside and out - engine bay and boot - awful nasty horrible job - I ended up with the compressors linked together giving 65 litres and 4.5 horsepower of pure puff.... enough to run a DA orbital sander and create  much dust...  the darn thing is ready for undercoat/primer... yay ( I also have no finger prints left)

 

Managed to take the beast outside lift it up on to its side (yes by  my self - it weighs almost nothing now!) and finish the underside - seam welded and undersealed - its black and ready for a top coat of gloss black when the time comes - that has been on my list to do since I picked up the car four years ago! I  even have photos to prove this effort of strength and application of black sticky stuff

 

The flares have landed - and the only need a little trim up to fit - and will be bolt on rather then be moulded on - much better for servicing and replacement....

 

Have the alloy sheet for the door cards and firewall sealing - fuel cell brackets are ready to be fitted along with the fuel pump - just need to cover them now!

 

all in all a good week - photos to follow - really...
