Build Diary - 12th July 2005
|
I Wasn't sure how to fix the inner wheel arch panel that Tiger supply. Its huge and bears little resemblance to the shape of the inner wing. So, I cut the panel into 2 pieces and basically covered the bits that I thought looked like they needed covering! This triangular section above the axle... |
|
...and this section to the side of the seat back panel. The 'pigs ear' (that piece of fibreglass that covers the suspension mount) then just drops in over both the panels, held in place with copious amounts of sealant (this car will float when I am finished!) and rivets. |
|
Then the rear parcel shelf back panel was fitted. This is made interesting by Tiger using 2x1 box section on the top and 1x1 at the bottom, both sharing the same centreline. I found that it was easier to rivet along the top & down the sides first. I then worked out from the middle using the rivets to pull the panel into place. |

This shows the corner of the panel where it is pulled inline. |
|
The parcel shelf bottom panel was then cut to shape. |
|
This will be fitted at a later date with Riv nuts so I can remove it for easy access to the fuel pump, filter, and brake lines etc. |
