Kit Build Number 2

GTM Libra Build


This second set of pictures runs from the move from garage one to garage two (Feb '02) to July '02.


Click to enlarge Steering rack, Heater & heater pipes, brake pipes attached. Pedal box plate balanced just for show.
Click to enlarge I couldn't resist to see what it will look like...
Click to enlarge Back end all ready for bolting on the big bits.
Click to enlarge That engine frame is a pain to store.
Click to enlarge Wiper mechanism, Heater box and fuse box ready. This is the last time the dash area will look neat.
Click to enlarge Ducting on, wiring fed through and radiator in place.
Click to enlarge Knit one, pearl one....
Click to enlarge Told you!
Giant toilet roll to recover after having to drill through the bodywork.
Click to enlarge Door and bonnet hinges on. Careful not to tighten the bonnet hinges too much as the studs will shear off.
Click to enlarge It's a bizarre looking beast without bodywork.
Click to enlarge Battery in and everything is starting to tidy up nicely.
Click to enlarge Just a couple of wires that I'm not 100% sure about their use - oh, and I seem to have lost my dim/dip unit. Marvellous.
Click to enlarge Not happy about the heater pipes on the radiator but everything else seems OK.
Click to enlarge I think the spare wheel fits.
Click to enlarge Aerial and washer bottle in place.
Click to enlarge Radiator needs to be moved very slightly as the spare wheel sits on the fan motor.
Click to enlarge At last, I've found somewhere to fit the speakers.
Click to enlarge My first (and last) attempt at an arty shot.
Click to enlarge Interior going in. I wish someone had said the composite roll cage is hollow. I had a heart attack when I drilled the first hole - though I had drilled all the way through.
Click to enlarge Dash fits nice and snug.
Click to enlarge I seemed to have spent a large amount of time bent double in that there footwell.
Click to enlarge Drilling the holes for the roof studs was a bit hit and miss. I've still yet to sort them out properly.
Click to enlarge 'No More Nails' is wonderful stuff. Shame it takes 24 hours to dry fully though.
