I have been looking forward to this for so long, to finally get the chassis to powder coating. This step just makes one feel that the car will soon in the final assembly. A day of welding, preceded by final time the engine and gearbox back into the chassis to ensure the battery fitted where we wanted it and all mounts were correct. I must admit that coming from 36-38 degree heat wave in Japan to a crisp Christchurch last winter cold snaps was a shock, but pile on the clothes and keep busy was the survival mode. It’s becoming so familiar imaging the end product and in doing so subtle changes occur and major re-think of the electrical system combines to keep constantly improving the car.
