so... been a while since I made a post in here!
Like 2 years ago I fixed the pod.
Drilled and threaded the switches
new spring and then screwed it in place. Probably should use Loctite or something on it..? Should I put some kind of grease or something in between the switch and pod? I saw someone here did the same a long time ago.
Finished both of them.

Some months ago me and my friend took the bus up on a trailer and drove away
To be continued with this later.

My friend started to assemble the engine too, will be nice to have a bigger engine for once!

Supports done! Checked with the old ones!
Drilli some holes and weld it in!
Not fully satisfied with how the straight welds went out! But it will do!
Both sides almost done! Still need to bend down the lower lip on the left side!

That is awesome work. What a relief it must be to see the chassis in place and everything line up. It's all down hill from here! _________________ 53 Hatch Barndoor
