Back on the car-o-liner for a remeasure before welding the plenum in place.



Lucky we did as a resquare was required. Can never be too careful with this type of thing. The plenum was left off to give Nick more access for the worlds supply of wiring etc mounted behind the dash.



sealing up the plenum before welding.

The plenum is now on to stay.





Making brackets for the front guards

Welding edges & filing down to make good gaps.

Such a poor attempt above to recover credibility. Why do you think the red wire is known universally as carrying the power- no co-incidence I can tell you, the signs are everywhere.

To help on your journey I have corrected your earlier posting:
As you will note there should be Red everywhere in the design above!! I have toyed with a big red V some where - but I fear that the attention it will bring will be overwhelming. After what some may describe as an epiphany, I now realise the colour for a Fastback is Red. I have directed Brother Steve at our Blessed St Marys to properly colour the Fastback Red for that reason!!! After all I am overjoyed that the car will be enjoying the attention with all those other beautiful Red ones out there!!

PS: Cage, bit of surprise on your thread. Welcome Brother Cage of the Wiring!

You would love this car Boof, The wiring setup is very trick. When are you down this way next? Cage tells me he your services may be required again.


I will upload some progress shots later today.

In what way is the wiring trick, fill us in on all the secrets. Who did the wiring?

Nick can explain much better than me. Some new fangled bluetooth sort of setup.

When you weld the panel edges to get the gap better do you have to use tig or can you use mig to do it?

Mig is fine.

Mig is easier when all you want to do is build up and grind back.

So is oxy-acetylene if you are old enough to know how to use it ......

Do you also use another welding rod to build up or just fill with the mig like you do on a small hole?
