FFR Coupe 65 in Sydney

[SydneyChris]

Has been a while, but now the site seems to have been upgraded will give posting a go.

Doors, with commodore locks fitted with template perspex panels and working power windows, skins fitted, just waiting on the door belt line seals to progress these further. Central locking also installed, with a remote and external keyed door locks.

Induction system done, paint for the cheek brackets (VHT) is curing, waiting on some more 4mm x 8mm mesh to finish the hood opening.

Front wheel arches trimmed and coated with bed liner, hood fitted, hood rollers fab'd and installed, front grille completed and ready for fit post paint.

Electrics completed and ready for plug in of a few internal lights once the trim is done. Dyno tuned with the Crow Cam fitted.. around 315kw at the rears.. which is in line with expectations, at a slightly higher red line given the valve and timing gear upgrades.

Need to knock off the heat shielding on the underside of the cabin then fix the fuel lines, dynamat the seat portion of the cabin and figure out how to seal the gap between the 1/4 windows and the door frames, which has been created due to the geometry required for the power windows. Most of the cabin sheet metal has been cut and folded, just needs to be fitted.

Aside from that it still feels like its a bit of a way to go.. have a trimmer lined up for early next year which will no doubt take it through to March before it returns.. then its body and paint... although I really don't think I have the eye, the tools or the skills to prep, let alone finish a rather irregular body properly.
