Last week, Tuesday 22nd March i hired a van and drove over to GBS to collect my kit!!
I took my best mate (and co-builder / garage lacky) Ashley with me for moral support and extra pair of hands. (Not my orange GRP, mine is black but had been safely packed away before deciding to take a pic)
We had another tour of the workshop, ticked off the check list and loaded the van up. Unfortunately there were 1 or 2 bits missing but i knew about that so not a major issue, went back today to collect them anyway. When the van was loaded we headed home to get her back all tucked up in the garage.
With it being Easter weekend i was really busy at work so didnt grt chance to go in the garage and even touch the car for 6 days! But finally, yesterday was my 1st day on the build.
Once again Ashley was round to give me a hand.
1st of all we stored a lot of the panels and all the GRP in the rafters of the garage to make space, then laid out all the different bolts and washers etc so we could individually bag them up for the correct section of car so we know exactly what to use for each part.
As i forgot to get some P clips for the brake lines, there wasnt too much that i could do so we decided to fit the pedals as the 1st major job. (I had already fitted the steering column bushes).
They were a bit tricky and tight fit through the top hat nylon bushes, but we got it sorted in the end!
Thats as far as we got for now, but will be a lot t more updates in the future!!
