Todays job, turn some old metal



in to some new metal.



Also got some more wood and wiring bits. Been installing that today, no pics of either job as they're not finished. Back on it tonight so there may well be another update later.

Its just the back were the belts get attached, becuase it needs to be part of the Chasses frame to pass a SVA

Seat belt frame - needs to be part of the chassis for SVA.

Pod has sides on it now and is insulated. Pod roof is tomorrows job after we have the thinner wood for the bend.

Don't know why but when you said about the Pod roof, I thought of roofing tiles

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

That's a red herring. The paint can is white, being used for the exterior frame so we can see corrosion easier when it's inspected in the future. The interior seatbelt frame was sprayed.

Just to note; the frame is bolted through the floor to the chassis rails with M12 set screws. the thing is solid!

This weekends the plan is to get the steel frame for the side skirts/lockers in place.

would it have been easier to buy a terrace house and put wheels and an engine in it?
