Went into the workplace shop today and got the back assembly of the body positioned temporarily on the back of the car and fitted the top side rails to the header board on the windshield frame. These were offered up the the rear frame of the van and temporarily taped them to the top corners with duct tape to allow proper positioning of the lower sections where they intersect the rear wing arches. The front board was also fitted to the top rails ahead of the header board. I can see the van shape very easily now which is exciting. My colleague (boss) can't wait to see it completed. Me too.
Everything is only screwed together at this point as I need to be able to take things apart if required. Once the rear wing arches are sorted out and installed permanently I can attach the rear frame properly with the thorough bolts into the steel floor cross member.
I'll post some pics very shortly.
Cheers,
Stephen
