Engine bay painted

I had planned to put the front steering and suspension in the car today, but realised I had better paint the engine bay first so I don’t end up painting all the steering components.
3 coats of flat black later…

Diff in

The diff went in today along with the rear springs, bushes etc.
I have also put in the new rear shocks since the pics were taken.

Last of the sheet metal

Finally got the final piece of sheet metal - the L/H front guard.
Trial fitted it today… all good except my camera lense is obviously freaking filthy.

Also cleaned up the diff and painted it. After it is installed I will probably end up taking the centre out to change the open centre.
Fitted the fuel tank and turned the fuel pump around so it actually faces the incoming fuel lines now.
Next I will hopefully get the suspension sorted so I can get the car off the rotisserie and start getting into prepping the bodywork.

Dynamat

Did some dynamat work today. Don’t believe anyone that tells you that the 36sqft pack is enough “for the whole car".
36sqft did about 3/4 of my floor. I still need to do the roof, the trunk, under the bonnet, and the doors.

Mounted radiator

Cleaned up the welds today with the tig and sanding disk, then put a quick coat of etch primer on to seal it.
