Body On Day !!!

All set for the body on and a BBQ to encourage enough blokes to turn up

Last pictures of the chassis  note the radiator and bracket have been removed

Body waiting  patiently

All the blokes arrived including technical support in the form of Dale ( on day release from Skipton)

Oh god will it fit (that will be no then )

Then it was just  a simple case of lifting it over and lowering it down squarely ,the important lining up points are the 2 bolts near the dash board and in order for these to fit the body has to be manhandled forward once on .
Mine didn't fit no matter how hard we tried ! It would fit at the front fine but as soon as the back sat down the whole body moved back .After loads of swearing(mainly me) the body had to come off again for investigation .the reason was that some goon ( again me) had under sealed the transmission tunnel were it has to fit and the back of the seats making the body just to wide at that point .
bit of sanding then fits just nice one hours job taking 2 hours and  voila it on

body on and the 4 key bolts  in

All done  Huge thank you to all the Guys

A super big thank you to all my helpers Joe, Dave, Steve, Adam, Bob and Connor   not getting stressed when I was !!
