We've decided that we stand a much better chance of getting some momentum going on the build again if we move the car to our house. Using my parents large garage was invaluable in the early stages when there were loads of parts, including the body, to store, but now the effort of getting over there (25 miles each way) and constant requests to run errands once there has made it unworkable.
The task for today, therefore, was to prepare the car to be moved. This meant:
- Fastening down the scuttle
- Removing yet-to-be-fitted parts from inside the car
- Securing loose wiring
- Cutting the seat mounting bolts down to a reasonable length (for ground clearance whilst being moved onto a trailer)
- Cleaning the dust off the bodywork (not strictly necessary, but made me feel better!)
That done, and still some daylight left, I decided to fit the passenger seat, partly so there's some visible progress and partly because the seat's a pain to store. It also adds to the deception that its almost finished!
