Body work

The transmission panels have been cut, creased and are now ready to be fixed on. I still need to do the top transmission panel with holes for the handbrake lever and gear lever.

I've had to fettle the nose cone a little so that it sits lower as I was struggling to get a decent shut line between the bonnet and the side panels. I've also filed down the inside of the bonnet along the front edge to help. The scuttle is now fixed on with 2 M6 bolts into rivnuts on either side and lined up with the edge in the side panels. Bonnet just resting on in the pictures below.


There is still a bit of a gap in the shut line but the new bonnet latches I've recently purchased from CBS should pull the bonnet flush.
