Test fit of our E-Type roadster hood frame

This afternoon, we’ve tested the fit of our hood frame once again.

The frame came with the car when it arrived to us from California but it was not fitted. We carried out a dry fit during the strip out process and it fitted nicely which reassured us to continue with the work. Now that we are a little further along with the build we have refitted the frame to ensure the lines are still as they should be. We have also added a new hood frame canopy to the existing frame.

Now that we are confident with our findings we can remove the frame and get to work on the preparation and paint.

Installing the expansion tank.

The refurbished expansion tank is now installed.

Work is now underway on installing the full wiring loom. Once the rear section of wiring is complete the fuel tank can be fitted into position which will draw to a close the work on the rear section of the build.
