It doesn’t look like much has happened but fitting the shell took more time than I expected. Before fitting the shell I glued some heat reflective material round the bulkhead and gear box tunnel. Having heard so many stories about hot these cars can get I thought I should do every thing I possibly could to try and reduce the temperature inside the car. Once this was done the shell was fitted back onto the chassis. After this I spent sometime reassembling the pedal box that I’ve painted along with rebuilding the clutch and brake master cylinders. This is still work in progress as I still need some parts to be able to complete this so I can bleed the brakes and clutch.
Well that s the good news for the weekend the bad news is I discovered one of my heads is cracked! I had noticed a small water leak from the head and decided it would be a good idea to investigate this a bit more. I originally suspected the head gasket was leaking. After running the engine for a few minutes and scratching away at the paint I discovered the head was cracked.
