On its wheels!!

Today I got the car onto its wheels for the first time!  I couldn't get an engine crane in the end so I had to lower it to the ground on a load of timber pallets.

I jacked the car up, removed the trolley and lowered each wheel onto timber pallets and then jacked up and removed a couple of pallets at a time.  This was a slow process but we got there in the end.

I also fitted the rear panel today with 6no M5 fixings.  Again I used rivets for easy removal.  I had to trim the edge where it meets the side panel and I also trimmed underneath at each corner to aid in flexibility.  This was because the chassis is 10mm bigger than the internal measurement of the rear panel so it stretches as it is in place.
