Close, but no Cigar - Part 2:
My wife was very pleased to hear that the body shell will only need to be lifted off (& then back on again) one more time after this.
Note:
Remember the back of the car is on blocks, so the back wheels are hanging down.
There is good contact between the body and the bulkhead, plus the support panel I added to the framework between the humps.
So these are the areas where the bonding paste will be applied.
Previously I mentioned there is a gap between the boot floor and the rear of the body shell.
Although the angles of theses photos (& the fact I had to use the flash) do not make it easy to see.
So the final levelling up of the rear of the shell will have to take place after the other sections have been secured.
( Using a similar approach to the cockpit sides, where sections are fibreglassed into position to add strength. )
For now, this is what it looks like.
Once the body shell is bonded into place, I can then finish off the front wheel arches and bonnet work.
But for at least the next week, maybe more, this is how I will have to leave the car.
At least it is all under one cover, unlike the last time I took a break.
Cheers, Paul.
