Low rider

No i haven't pimped the Fury, but now that the rear body is fitted in place i wanted to check i had enough clearance between the wheels and arches, so i removed the rear springs and let it sit on the bump stops. The nearside was fine, but the offside, although clear, needed a small amount of fettling resulting in a nice even gap at full compression, and hopefully no clouds of smoke during cornering.

The wheels stick out about 60mm from the body work, so next job is to make some easily replaceable spats. The old bodywork had the remains of some spats, but they are prone to damage being the first things to come into contact with the outside world, so this time i will make them disposable and easily replaceable.

There was now a gaping hole between the body work and arches through to the wheel due to the aluminium panelling having to be removed.

I'd never liked the way the panelling meant the return lip on the tub had to be cut away, thus making it very week and cracking all the gel coat. So this time i have ensured the mating surface between the chassis rail and tub is uninterrupted.
