When sorting the passenger door hing I had to move the ECU. I then had a bit of a think, and noticed that any water getting in would drip all over it! This is obviously not the most intelligent thing, so knocked up a small cover.

Saturday, December 19th, 2009Inspection Hatch
Sunday, November 8th, 2009While re-inserting the engine, I was a bit lazy and didnt remove the seat panels. However to put the exhaust back on I needed to get a hand in to replace the springs. I decided that a small quickly removable hatch would actually be quite useful for other bits and bobs so I drilled a large hole with the biggest holesaw we have.
Air Box
Monday, October 12th, 2009OK, I know, no updates for AGES, but things have been manic here! We have just emplyed a new member to our team to help out!
Getting back on topic I promised a while ago I would get a photo of the airbox, and true to my word here it is. Now, its not totally finished, as it will need trimming to fit under the body, but I am pretty pleased with how is turning out so far!
Air Box
Sunday, September 20th, 2009In order to help the engine I am trying to get a nice source of cold air to the inlet trumpets. What I have decided is to draw in the air and duct it to a box around the inlets. I wanted to keep the original ally base plate for the filter as it is made of a ‘hard’ ally and should be better, so have made up this plate to go below the base plate and then weld a return all the way around.
Dash Panel
Sunday, August 9th, 2009After fitting in the wheel arch ducts I changed my mind over the previous panel for the dash. Instead of the curved panel, which would have required a couple of other panels to fill in the lower area of the dash I have decided to make a new panel which fits between the wheel arch ducts. This means less work AND less weight, so its a real winner! First, was to get the profile of the body where it was going to fit. To do this I stuck some cardboard onto the front of the spider section and just traced over it with a felt marker.
