| Once a chassis has been made good it is time to overhaul the body shell and seal it back to the chassis. |  |
| The body shell of a 1998 car worked on in 2001. Fortunately this shell only required a partial floor on one side of the car. |  |
| Fortunately the seal was in good order and it was easy to spot weld the new floor into position. |  |
| It is my policy to reinforce the front triangular box section with some 20 gauge steel to give a second thickness to this vulnerable area. |  |
| This shows the extra plate nicely stitched in around the jacking point and rising panel. |  |
| As standard, I always place at least 1 cigarette bracket in the car before going to the paint yard and as a piece of information I have discovered some nice radio speakers which rivet into the shelf cross member. |  |
| This
body shell had a larger conversion to the wiring loom and dashboard spec
which made the decision of spraying the front bulkhead a much easier one.
It is always nice to spray the inside of the vehicle as well as the out, but if spraying the same colour as the original there is no need to do the bulkhead. |
 |
| Reassembly well under way with a running driveable car which means that it is half finished... |  |
| Rear
end completed
