Default The nose

Today we took the plunge and copied as best we could the mocked up the nose section with the newly pressed 2mm zintec pieces. After one false start we got the hang of it. By close of play we'd made up the new nose section, some tack welds and some proper final welds. We used a spare grill to ensure the alignment was right. There's more to do, but we're pleased with the outcome so far. We need to angle grind the ducting to fit the radiator, which will then be welded up. A few little jobs like the bonnet catches and a couple of fillets are needed. The final job will be robust. Jerry
