Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks Dave and Tony for your help tonight - could not have done it without you was good to get heads together good progress made tonight - Tony and I managed to get the rear axle bolted up ready for when Dave arrived then it was a matter of lifting the front bodywork section into place, we soon however realised that there was a small section of the jig that needed to be lopped off with the angle grinder and also that the fron t suspension was let too low after having the adjusters fitted 10 minutes later with an angle grinder and a jack for th adjusters the body was being trial fitted good news - the new floorpan edges are spot on and the body now sits much more level than previous - bad news - the body is still sitting high on one side at the front, so looks like I have some adjustment of the tub to do at some point flintstones, meet the flintstones !!! another update tomorrow - thanks again chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 after a session messing about with seat heights midweek I have decided to lower the seat height which means some extra fabrication on the pans - I rather amusingly at the time spent 15 minutes sitting on a stack of floor tiles trying to determine where my head would sit when plonked in the seat - glad it was just me and Jago in the workshop and that no photographic evidence exists after thinking about it for a few nights I decided to weld on some cross pieces of 25 x 25 mm (not done yet) and then to make up some lowering framework for the seat first job to decide on the angle and cut four identical pieces to size - off to my best friend (apart from Mr Angle Grinder) Mr Chop Saw - cannot believe what short work this machine makes of cutting up metal then using a good flat tile on me trestle stands make up the first piece using that as a sample to ensure all the other angles remain the same then to the other end all four pieces spot on showing how the seats will sit onto the framework when welded up onto the chassis - this things gonna weigh a ton gonna need more than 50 bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 maybe not tonights job see the front lowered floor pan support going in - my main concern was again matching up both sides so that you could look across from the side of the car and see that a perfect straight line through as I was using one piece for each side I decided to clamp on one long piece underneath - to this I simply tacked on a small bit of box section either end so that it went below the centre tunnel - I then measure from the the rear hat 730mm forwards on both sides cut the bits to size and tack in place welded along top and finally the money shot - do they line up? yup thank the lordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
