Had a go at repairing the sill today, was a real mess tbh. But after a lot of cutting, stretching, bashing and swearing, it's as good as it's going to get. Can of rattle spray and nearly ready to fit side skirt, when sprayed black.
Just the front wheel to sort out, noticed it was toeing in about 6mm lol on the o/s, I'm guessing bent wishbone, but we'll see.

Possibly the last time it looked straight
Is a re-shell likely at the end of this season then?
182cup & 172 racecar
What, because of a bent sill. Hardly, thats nothing, a mere flesh wound lol.
Side skirt is aleady painted and ready to go back on, just the plastic trim holders to rivit in position, but that will have to wsit until I'm back from hols.
I need to sort out whatevers bent underneath before anything else, got get it pointing straight before cosmetic messing about.

I wondered why you wanted to borrow my tin opener.

You've still got those other wishbones haven't you? (if you trust the numpty who made them!)
182cup & 172 racecar
Had a good look at the car last night, damage was to the steering arm and ball joint. These have now been replaced and is ready to go.
Just got some bodywork to sort out, hammer, drill, filler and some bad language. Should be ready for Oulton on the 28th.

Lol, just watched a Radical race from Cadwell from the weekend we were there.
1.23, looks like it's speeded up. That's 20 sec quicker than us around there, I want a go in one of those.

I watched them at Combe, they're insane lol. No seat belts either.

Been a busy weekend.
Changing to fiberglass doors is not as easy as some make out ffs, glad I didn't attempt them before Cadwell!!
Having a Dremmel was the most grace saving thing ever.
Anyway, all done and wrapped in white (another colour white)
, cars looking like it's done a season already lol.
Oh and wrapping is a pain as well, not easy on your own either.
Just oil, water and other little bits to do now, must get it done before the GP, then all ready for Oulton next week. Can't wait now, plus it will also be good to see some other guy's out at Oulton, Russ and Dinger.
We have quite a good grid next week, so should be interesting indeed.

Quick question, regards to the FT races how long does it take to scrutineer the cars and do they have to be done prior to event as well?
Takes place just after driver signs on, normally 5/10 min check around the car.
Normally spend more time checking drivers overalls and helmet etc. than the car. Lol
182cup & 172 racecar
Not long Sonny, as Mike say's a quick look over.
If it's tidy, they don't really pay much attention to it, just the basics, cut off, lights etc.
