Mike's Zero Build: January 2009

Saturday 24 January 2009

With the engine mount inplace you can see there is too much of a gap between the mount and block.

So after chatting to a fellow builder we decided to cut the fowling peice off.

Will have new pics of this when complete.

With the space between the engine and the steering shaft too small I fitted the remote oil filter kit.

With the relays rewired I then fitted them.

The next task was the fuse box, witch I made a square hole to just poke the fuse box through.

Now does'nt that look better...

With the boot put together and test fitted to the kit I drilled the holes for the rollbar to boot stays.

The next thing I did was to fit the battery.

As I don't want to get through the SVA then fit the screen, demister and wipers, I fitted the washer bottle.

Whilst waiting for parts to arrive I took the time to sort out some of the wiring.

I riveted the top panel on the tunnel wit5h a hole near the firewall for the wiring to come through into the car.

Starter in place.

The next job I did was to fit the crecent panels.

Now the sump looks like it might last the first pot hole.

With the engine removed I fitted the new sump.

With the new sump fitted I refitted the engine.
