Week 46 - The Build

 I left it the other week with the cockpit sole cut in half. Well here it is again screwed back together in situ. the aft section needed to be raised so it didn't foul the various pipes and tubes that run below. Not super happy about the water drive cable but its miles too long and had to go somewhere. In retrospect I'd probably have routed it elsewhere - but hey.

 

Here it is with the cenre console installed....

 


Next is to trial fit the back seats. The squab is secured to the cockpit sole with no access to the underside. Thank goodness foe rivnuts!

Here is one side done!


And here are the back seats trial fitted.


During the dismantling of the Fiesta I must have felt over enthusiastic in the reomoval od the gear lever gaiter so its in four pieces where one bit would have been ideal.

The 'leather' bit needs to be reattached to the frame and clipped back into the console...


And trial fitted in the cockpit...

Next time I'm going to attach the cover over the drive belt on the port quarter wheel arch!
