Thanks Mike,
Question- This body as no wood running the length of the cills , Do i need to fit wood or will it be OK, , When i collected it from Richard he said it was very light so could have been a racing shell,
Thanks

The cills are a fibreglass box section made up of the shells exterior and an internal section glassed into the shell. The wood (or sometimes cardboard in mini marcos) is only there as a former for the fibreglass it has little structural property's. If you are concerned about stiffness in this area just add a couple of layers of glass along the internal section.

| Got a bit more finished , Glassed over the floor mountings , Made good outside also and a couple of polyester rods replacing the rotten tube in the foot wells, also fitted two stainless plates with nuts welded on for the subframe front mountings , removed the fibreglass from the rear of the car as it had been poorly glassed over , next job is to add another layer and fill in the rear light holes also the rear skirt needs some work , started painting underneath , Having a change from the grinding dust . |

| I am back after holiday and a bit of time off , first all i am undoing what i thought was right the first time round , Let me explain a bit and hopefully the photo's should tell the story , Right This shell came with out a rear subrame fitted,Various hole cut out of the shell around the rear subframe !!!!!! Hah i thought i fill them with fibreglass ,MISTAKE , They were cut out to clear the subframe , What i ended up doing was cutting the suframe and fibreglass and filling in again, its done now and all underneath painted, subfame fitted with the brake ,fuel and battery lines connected ,just got to fit shocks ,cables and rear pipes |
