Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Slow steady progress, gave the panels another couple coats of clear yesterday so time to wipe down the steering rack and hubs and get them refitted with new poly bush mount, turns out I got the wrong track rod ends so had to fit the spare I used to carry for now, then onto fitting the sound deadening and the rear interior panels.

Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Thanks Duncan, both rear inner panels fitted, drilled and taped out the few new holes required for the front inner panels where I had replaced chassis sections.
Those panels cannot be fitted till the scuttle is bolted on.
Also managed to put in the pedal box and servo, both headlights and brackets loosely Fitted, handbrake lever fitted.
Started to attach wiring to the engine bay chassis that can be at this stage
Need to get a coat of more clear on the remaining panels soon so it can start hardening.

Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Little bit of an update vid as I prepare to put a clear protective covering over the rear arch to protect against stone chips.

Good work Rich. The wishbones look great with the crinkle paint. Hopefully it will be durable.
I really do like that blue paint colour!

Another good video Rich, the covering will help hopefully. I also like the blue, really bright and the wing looks good.
Keep at it mate.
