Default Chassis complete.

With the body posts fitted, wheels & tyres now mounted and the bumpers fitted, the chassis is now completed.

I have fitted the 21mm front bumper, this needed to be trimmed down further to allow the body to fit correctly. I fitted the 53mm rear bumper, this needed a bumper foam added to again space correctly. The body is now a snug fit with no flapping around the bumper area due to the size of the body gaps between the bumpers.

Now on to the best bit. The Transit SUPERVAN Body......

Incidentally, you never put final photos of your Escort Cosworth build up.! I was really looking forward to those. Is it possible to add them.?

Default Body...

So this week I have been working on the body cutting it out and getting it how I want it to sit on the chassis. I have trimmed the arches down so there is no lip on them. I want the arches on the tyres. I have also added a additional 0.5mm spacer behind the wheel pin to extend the axle out. There is still enough play in the axles when the wheels are locked up.

Here are a few shots of the body on. I still have a little dremelling to do on the arches but almost there with the fit. It will give you an idea of how it will look....

I will also be using magnetic body mounts so no holes in the body. I will post pictures of them also......
