A short update on the progress
of the body-work on the FHC. The boot area is almost sorted, with the donor
boot floor welded in place.
But it wasn't as straight
forward as it looks. With the old panels still in place it was obvious that
there was something wrong. And with all panels removed and after taking some
measurements it turned out that the rear of the right hand chassis leg was
pointing about half an inch outwards from where it should be. But with all
panels already removed that was easy to rectify.
Another problem was that the
spare-wheel-well and the boot floor, as a complete panel, couldn't be fitted back to car. There
just wasn't enough room to manoeuvre it back in place. So that was taken back
to its original parts, which were than separately welded back in. At least this
enabled us to get a much better alignment for all panels, in comparison to the
factory finish ...
