Sunday - Part 1
I have to wait a few days for the new fuel pipes to arrive to get the car back on the road.

Therefore, I figured now was the time to jump right in and tackle lining the cockpit walls with alloy.

I removed the passenger seat and tried hard to forget about how many hours I'd spend fitting it.



Next, the seat belts came out.



This gave me a clear run to make the extension piece I needed for the passenger side panel.



Note how lumpy the back wall is!

With the extension piece added I had one side complete.



My original plan was to extend this panel further at the rear so it would wrap around the rear corner.

There is plenty of room on the aluminium sheet to do this.



But I realised the rear wall would be higher than the sides, like so.



This is due to this 'hump' section of original Spitfire.



Note:
The 'white' square on the rear wall was caused by me trying to shoved an oil can behind the passenger seat.

This is a long winded way of saying that I will need a pair of corner panels, something like this.



End of Part 1…
