Novasportc550 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Primed the drivers sill last night, blocked it down this morning and reprimed it along with the drivers rear arch, one of the lines on the arch wasn't right and was doing my head in, so reshaped the line too. Then bolted both parts back on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Power Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 this is going to be a nice car - that stage of filling and smoothing the fibreglass panels is a step many don't bother with, but it makes the difference between an impressive 400 and an absolute stunner :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novasportc550 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Decided to take a break from the body work, so pulled my engine out of the shed tonight and mounted it on my engine stand, changed the sump to the rwd one and engine mounts. Set the exhaust manifold on and the throttle body's. The engine needs a dame good clean and lick of paint.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novasportc550 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Engine, gearbox, drive shaft, front and rear suspension all mock fitted tonight. Want to get the engine up and running to make sure every thing fits and works before it's all cleaned, painted and fitted properly.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novasportc550 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Of on my 2 weeks holiday last night, so spent the whole day today on the manta. Started into the wiring this morning and bolting bits onto the engine so I can fire it up soon, also fitted the wheels and done a bit more to the bumper. The bumper isn't to far away from primer.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
