Anyway, here's what we got up to.... the rear firewall and central tunnel.
With the changes to the engine pulleys, water pump and alternator we only need a small raised section to allow clearance for the belts etc. Here you can see the blue steel we have added. The intention is that a removable panel will attach in the centre between the two blue bars. The remaining aluminium sheets will bolt to the black painted bars.
Since this needs to allow for a central tunnel, I fabricated the supports for the sheeting which will box in the coolant pipes and other services. Here are a few pics.
All in all, I'm quite happy with the result. The next job will be to finish the welds, mount the handbrake and then fabricate the rear firewall. All in all, I'm pretty happy with how it's looking. It will be very nice when all the aluminium panel work is behind us.
