Re: In the workshop at present
Major delouse / dust down of workshop whilst the bodyshell was outside - round 2 sees the remaining panels put into primer as of last night with along with a load of minor / small metal parts / fittings - this just leaves about 10 internal metal window surrounds which have been bare metaled but require priming at some stage but I need to concentrate on the outer / closure panels first

Re: In the workshop at present
We have a logistics problem with getting the car to the NEC for the show - space is tight in the van so the rear axle - built up as a sub assembly was fitted to the car on a temporary basis it will be removed when we get to the show - same thing for the front suspension - although for movability the transit axle / wheels will stay on the front - the red wheels on the back axle are temporary and will be exchanged for a set of rims that I will put into the green body colour

Re: In the workshop at present
My fellow Jowett sparing partner Keith was with me on Sunday so I took full advantage of him - once I had fitted the bulkhead webbing & bonnet hinges he gave me a hand to fit the bonnet

Re: In the workshop at present
Must invite more visitors as the workshop becomes more civilised with tea & biscuits, front bumper bar irons were fitted followed by the bumper & over riders - with some minor shimming we got the fit aligned - bumper was then removed for fitting at a later date

Re: In the workshop at present
The boot lid was fitted along with the rear wings - wings fitted on a temporary basis to check for the bumper iron fit and alignment (these travel through apertures in the wings) the irons required quite a lot of fettling / shimming along with the brackets - the rear of the car had suffered a shunt at some stage in it's life and whilst I had all the panels realigned whilst undertaking the restoration I knew that the bumper mountings / brackets to the rear would require some reworking to get the bumper alignment / end wrap alignment equal to the curvature of the rear wings - The wings need to come back off to enable the piping bead to be fitted but I don't intend to undertake this until the show - again for logistical reasons the wings will go on the car to the show as this the safest way of transporting them without damaging the panels / paintwork - osr wing was flatted and polished - I flatted the bootlid but I have a paintwork defect that I am not happy with hence the boot will be repainted

Re: In the workshop at present
Couple of images detailing the torsion bar suspension set up - rears travel horizontally behind the rear seat whilst the fronts pick up from the lower suspension arm and run down the inside of the chassis rails

Re: In the workshop at present
Not too much done on the Javelin so far this week as I had a modern booked in for repair - none the less I have managed to get the remaining 5 panels that were in primer flatted and ready for paint - the modern is finished - just have to give it a quick wash off and go and deliver it and I can start to get the remaining panels looking shiny this afternoon
