Crash
Repair 904-006
05/01/02
The oil
cooler is in place so that the cooler cover can be attached.
The cover
bolts to one side of the cooler and the cooler bolts to the
underside of the trunk.
Ryan is
masking the head light section of the fenders because they
go black with the trunk area.
A.M. Wednesday
morning we turned the car, for the last time, right side up.
Before we did this Andy installed the steering rack (easier
done upside down). Now he is doing the final fitting of the
steering universal joints that go to the steering column through
the fire wall.
The only
mold we have for the floor board is the 6 cylinder 904 model.
As you can see, the panel is longer on the passenger side
because the batteries in the 904-6 go inside the engine compartment.
We have shortened the long floor board so that it is identical
to the 4 cylinder board.
All of
the hardware has been detailed and polished and is ready for
assembly.
She is
ready for paint at 3:00.
Four guys,
eight hours, to prepare the trunk area and fifteen minutes
to paint it.
Black
is beautiful!
Hopefully,
trained eyes will see how original this looks.
The rear
inner fender panel is painted at the same time.
The inside
of the trunk panel is also in final paint.
Andy and
Martin have started assembling bits for the car. Tomorrow
there will be 7 Gunnar Guys assembling 904-006, which we like
to lovingly call a Gunnar Gang Bang.
This picture
is how we get the hardware back from the platers. It must
take some poor laborer hours to tie 2,000 pieces for the plating
process because it takes us hour to untie it. This picture
is taken on the hood of a Carrera GT Speedster.
The pedal
assembly is complete and ready to install.
The front
suspension and steering should be on the car and complete
tomorrow.
The seats
are back from the upholsterer. We recovered them because the
gravel, and dirt, and busted fiberglass parts, and oil, and
blood, and sweat, and big tears were all over them. Big day
tomorrow, Thursday May 2, lots of pictures.
