The body in place.




For some reason the whole thing just didn't look right but we carried on regardless

We, removed all the welded sections, or should I say knocked the off with a hammer



Replaced the fuel tank with a late spitfire tank. This meant the original Reliant fuel lines could be plugged striate into the new tank with no modifications and a much easier run for the fuel filler pipe .



Then much effort to put some strength into the chassis. We done this by welding around the "a" and "b" door posts.
Here's a moon buggy image juts for Mr T





still if didn't look righ or sit right
Then we lowered it and wow the difference was a massing.



The next job was to "adjust" the body to fit, much work went into getting the back end to fit.



The front of the body was still a problem because of the gap between the scuttle panel and the steering column .



And then there was the bonnet.

It all looks very easy but this has taken weeks to work-out as every thing is bespoke to this car.
