Preparing for Body Fitting - 4... and Final!

Last few jobs completed today. Had a bit of a problem with the radiator though. I undid the top frame bolts, loosened the lower fixings but found I could only pull it forward about 1.5 inches as the radiator is a couple of mm wider than the gap between the front chassis rails!

I know you can remove and refit the rad from below (if you can jack the car up high enough!) but that seems like an awful lot of hassle. This will mean that my "helpers" will have to lift the back of the body a bit higher.
I also fitted the battery tray as this is much easier to do with the body off.
So all that remains is to round up some volunteers...... body should be on within the next couple of days!
