Starting to make really good progress now. All the panels are on except the sides (left off to allow easier turning over of the chassis if necessary) and tunnel top (to allow access to fit the propshaft). As suspected, we did have to cut a tab each side of the rear panel to accomodate the "new" chassis tube and then bend the panel in an S-shape to get it in. The build manual said that the chassis should be flipped to fit the floorpan, but we managed ok doing this from underneath. We may even attempt the brake and fuel lines (the next job) with the car the right way up thanks to the access afforded by our adjustable trestles. Matthew also fitted the remaining pedals, along with the clutch cable (we worked out it is a cable clutch!) and throttle cable. He also fitted the three brake union "T" pieces and the brake pressure switch with no problems, although we had to guess the tightness for the latter as our torque wrench doesn't have a setting low enough.
