Moving Forwards

Two more bottles of argon mix and we’re ready to crack on again.

Over the last week I’ve started working out the runs for the braided lines through the car. So Master cylinder and servo are temporarily back on, bulkhead has been drilled and the rear line run along the tunnel. I’ve started to fab up a mounting for the Wilwood bias valve, but ran out of time again tonight to finish it off and weld it in. I’m going to need some new parts for the lines due to the ATL fuel cell and having to run the lines around it, so will be putting an order in for parts shortly.

I’ve had to start a check list for parts and jobs needed to get the car mobile again as a rolling shell. It’s going to be seeing daylight again soon for the first time in a long time.

Having worked out where the bias valve was going to be mounted, I decided that the tunnel needed a final bit of tidying up so took this area which was all dented and patched:

Marked it up, chopped it out, formed up a repair panel and welded it in:

Ground down the welds and then fabricated up the mounting for the bias valve and welded that in:

Fitted up

Finished up by painting the tunnel inside and underneath in POR15 so it’s primed. There’s plenty more work that is needed inside, but at least this will keep the work completed so some protection.

The first job on my list to get the shell rolling was crossed off on Saturday:

Picked up a new pair of handbrake cables…

Need to finalise my order with Speedflow for fittings and get that on the way now, in the mean time back to finishing off the EPAS and getting the inside of the firewall bulkhead finished up and in primer.
