Well I thought I best get my backside into the garage today as the countdown clock for W&P is always ticking !!! I wanted to mok up the engine deck to make sure everything lines up as it should.... For the better part it dies, but there are areas which will need a tweak which is understandable given the length of time it has been hanging inside the carrier, or lying in the cold Canadian snow !


The front part seems ok, and I had not realised I had some of the curved air deflector left so it was a nice suprise to find I only need to graft two short sections onto each end !

Inside the engine bay was another matter

For starters the deck has been snapped at some point and shoddily welded back together, this is not really an issue as I can sharp weld it back again. The lower rail for this side I only have a third of it left so will need to make the rest to graft onto it.



The other rail is complete and bolted in spot on ! Just need to tweak the posts from the top deck, as you can see they have both sprung.

I sat and tried to remember what goes where on the top cover..... Any ideas ?
