Sitting in the shed at the new house, it took me half an hour just to in mask from the paint.

The exterior paint looks like crap against the bay and interior now, but it's ready to put together, I will start on the wiring first and running fuel and brake lines.image.thumb.jpeg.b1ca12a662854197dae84d26b57abb5c.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.a8e8f4365f4eecb330154c4622287082.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.35bcba338e8a4d6822baed05f90546e2.jpeg

Started on the rear parcel shelf and bulkhead panels, made them so the bolt down with nutserts, something to do while I wait for the fuel cell and lines to arrive. I am going to weld up some removable ally covers to go over the access holes to the rear shocks. This also allows the rear bulkhead panel to sit flat as the shock mounts protruded into the cabin.  Next job is to start cutting out the rear boot floor once I have the fuel cell and battery, I am going to try and mount them slightly lower than the standard floor level if possible.

Anyway, enjoy the small update.

I fabbed the frame with some 25 x 25 box, tacked it up and test fitted, just have to close up the sides with some new sheet metal and then weld the frame to the chassis rails and boot floor.

So much easier to work under there without the spare wheel well.

Frame work should also help stiffen the rear chassis further where the rear spring shackles mount, and weighs around the same amount the as the factory metal fuel tank.

you should beadroll some alloy diamond pattern door trims! 

Funny you should say that, I actually have an idea with the door trims I might go half aluminium and half standard trims.

Anyway I made good use of the long weekend here in WA and got a heap done on the car, three days worth prep and almost ready for a colour it's just that the weather is shit, raining cats and dogs at the moment and not conducive to painting. ( I hate sanding and the amount of seam sealer in this thing was nuts)
