Delivery Boys
Today we dragged the bodywork we (hopefully) don’t need to a local scrapyard, and then took the chassis on to Tomcat.
Well organised, as you can see.
The rollcage should be fitted next week (we saw it when we arrived, it just needs fitting to the chassis) and the bodywork will be in by mid-December.
The loom, as removed by me. With that hammer.
The bodywork will be taped to the frame ready for collection. Paul from Tomcat advises that we bring a sheet to prevent the body panels from blowing off on the way home. I agree.
The old body about to be taken into the scrapyard.
I’ve also picked up my first official Tomcat part – the heated windscreen! The windscreen is specially made to fit a Tomcat, and has a heating element so powerful that Paul advises you to fit a ten-minute timer, as leaving it on for too long will cause the plastic between to glass to melt!
Seat, steering wheel and pedals. All you need for 'pretend car' fun...
Time lag switches are proving rather hard to locate on the Internet. Stay tuned…
(Update – aha, here we are – a heated rear window timed relay.)
