Finishing Off The Chassis Part 2

Had a change of plan again! When trying to get the paint for spraying the chassis the guy in the shop said straight away to get it powdered so...... once again we are going to get the chassis powder coated. had a quote of £200 which we thought is pretty good as we were expecting the paint to be around £100ish and then all the work involved would of been a pain. Had a re-think on the steering column support bearing too after reading about the standard sierra one been a bit sloppy. It has made a massive difference with this bearing in feels like you could lift the whole car with the steering wheel its that solid lol.




We put the supports in for the fuel tank and realised we had made a bit of a mistake with the flexi brake pipe brackets. We had originally put them on the top of  RS14 but when we thought about where the fuel tank would sit it was obvious why the book said to put them on the rear of RS14 so thats where they are now.

Dads been doing a great job of tidying up and finishing off ends etc on the chassis too. Really keen now to get it finished off and coated because once that's done we can start putting it together for real!
