More under body seal & make ready for rolling chassis milestone

I have all the parts for the suspension now so getting near the point of dropping the car onto its wheels.

Underbody seal applied to the floorpans and underside of most chassis members, just the drivers side floorpan to go. The floor panels are stitch welded, so notwithstanding (or perhaps because of) the side panels overlapping this joint I am making sure any areas where water might sit have a  under seal coating and also running a bead of bond around the obvious joints inside the passenger area.


The garage is only wide enough for decent access around one side of the car so..

Next steps:

  1. Wait for 47mm studs to arrive & M18 tap
  2. Fully assemble the nearside suspension - uprights, discs, studs & calipers
  3. Shift the car to the other side of the garage
  4. Fully assemble the offside suspension - uprights, discs & calipers
  5. Install the steering rack & column
  6. Complete offside floorpan underbody seal
Then it should be ready to install the wheels and I can roll it out and make some space...
