Scuttle Panel

First bit of body work! really pleased with the quality from AGM Sports Cars the colour is perfect too after panicking I had got it wrong lol the colour is RAL2009. We're going to have to cut it a bit to fit over the steering column.

Fuel Pump

Bought the fuel pump from eBay £40 and managed to get it fitted. We used some old fan belt to insulate it. All looks nice and tidy ready for the fuel tank!

The pipe overhangs on the back a bit but shouldn't be a problem.

Also managed to get the wiring loom tied up ready for the lights, pump and fuel sender unit.

Fuel Filter

Plumbed in the fuel filter and made the return pipe ready for when we have a fuel tank in. Straight forward job just had to make sure we have enough room to make a U bend with a piece of flexi pipe for when we get the fuel pump in which is going next to the filter.

We flared the ends to give a better seal on the flexi pipe.

Also put the engine oil in and the diff oil in too which took forever so we rigged up a holder lol. 

Slow Progress

Haven't had much chance lately to do much on the car but dads been busy with the odds and ends. Next job is to get Danny boy to make a fuel tank then we can buy a fuel pump and get that plumbed in.

All 3 pedals working now. Decided to take the gripper off the accelerator pedal as it lifted your heel when pressed it so felt a bit awkward. Fitted a stopper for the accelerator too. The brakes need bleeding a bit better but all 3 pedals work great just need small shoes on!

Throttle cable going into the bike bodies with some added springs to help the pedal go back to the neutral position.

Nice job done with the fan belt by dad just had to shave a bit off the engine to make the belt the clear it. Everything is running in the right direction and all seems ok.

Started making the interior panels still a bit rough at the moment but its just to get an idea. The finished one will be covered in black wrap.

Seats!

Treated ourselves to some nice new GRP seats from kit parts direct. We ordered 2 seats, 2 harnesses, 2 sets of universal seat runners, 10m of edge trim, front cycle wings and an battery cut off switch. Then when dad went to pick them up managed to get the foam pads cheap too.

Putting the edge trim on wasn't too bad i just had no feeling left in my thumbs when i had finished. Me and mum stuck the foam pads on which was nice and easy just started with the triangle bits and worked down. The pics from kit parts of the foam pads shows the head pad on the other way up but we liked it this way. 

We measure the holes on the runners and drilled the holes in the seat braces on the chassis to match then did the same with the runners on the seat. We bolted the harnesses in first because there isnt much room to maneuver once the seats are in. Then we bolted the runners to the seat and bolted them into the car. The seats are actually really comfy not sure i'll be saying that after a long drive but the driving position is great!

  

Dads also been making the inlet after we decided to re space the bike bodies. Done a really nice job looks really tidy.
