FFR Coupe 65 in Sydney

[SydneyChris]

Progress, if you can call it that with the doors, frames and alignment as well as fitting the skins to the frames.

Ended up remaking the drivers (RH) side frame completely, far easier the third time around, but it actually fits nicely now. Probably spent around 4 months elapsed on the doors, which isnt great, but its also a big one to overcome. The USA version, without the side impact protection (ref the build thread from JimS on the FF cars site) is far easier to get it all packaged in the limited space available.

Have glassed a couple of brackets with a curved base onto the door skin. The flat surfaces mate with a matching L bracket welded to the door frame. These allow some movement in and out... and with the help of the small hammer, a little forward to rear also.. (edit) Added two more top hat style brackets with welded nuts on the lower half to complete the mounting points and allow the skin to be tilted independent of the frame to get a nice fit when its comes to final assembly.

The US guys use a stud with a perforate base that they glass to the skin.. ebay, amazon and the local hardware supplies dont carry these as far as I can see... would have made life a bit easier for sure...! See https://www.mcmaster.com/#perforated...studs/=15qi234

Best to all.
