To anyone that has never built a liner, don't kid yourself that packaging is a snap.

5lb bags are never big enough, and I see you have 20lbs of , stuff.

looking good dude.

I haven't put in the last 2 diagonals in the eng bay because I am not sure how & where all the related turbo stuff  is going to end up and just what it will look like. 

[tauruck]

I hear you Sparky.

This stuff never seems to stop.

I had a little "drama" here last night.

I've got the Carbon tub standing up so I can get into the foot well
to drill holes for rivets needed to mount anchor brackets.
They are for the panel that houses the gauges and one for the
access panel above the pedal box.
I decided I'd stand inside the tub to do the work.

I figured it would be a tight squeeze but doable.
I got stuck.
I must have been in there for 40 minutes. The missus is away on business
and the Jack Russells couldn't care less. After eventually extricating myself
I bonded and riveted the first of 9 brackets and went back in for seconds.

I did it again.
You don't want to struggle too much for fear of falling over with your arms trapped by your sides.
Talk about the tunnels of Cu Chi!!!!!
I eventually figured it out and got the job done.

The next time it will be feet first.

Mike.
We will start doing risk assesments and training on working in confined spaces if you keep this up.
Next time please phone a friend first.

The Jack Russells were probably amused at your plight.

Good thing you giants never tried this stunt.

Ah, the Jacks!. My best friends, they just watched Mr. Houdini panic.

[tauruck]

Today I got a little more done.
Got to mount the steering shaft bearing housing.


I had to drill the composite for bushings.
I had the option to powder coat the parts but decided to
paint instead.

The bushings were bonded in by using all the hardware.
In the second image only one was wiped clean.

Two other views of the installed parts.

One from the front.

She's almost ready for clear.

Smoochy is only 8 weeks old but she took off
like a rocket and snagged a mouse under Willie's
Veto transporter. She wouldn't relinquish her
trophy and ate the whole darn thing.

I wanna be sick.......

[SPARKY]

Hmmmmmm maybe there are some wayward genes in Smoochy---Rat Terrier dad?

Typical Terrier behavior.   200,000 years of evolution at play here.    Probably not much you can do to change this.

Cosmo, our Portugese water dog mix, keeps our yard a "rodent free" zone . . . . .    It's all I can do to get him to drop the dead ones . . . . .

They built a light rail transit lines through the town I grew up in, Oakland.  Lots of rats invaded our neighborhood after the demolition was done to build the tracks, etc.  The cats were too timid to take on the rats.  Dogs saved the day.  Of course, with some help from young boys with pellet guns.

Old Jim loves the Rats. But he likes to show off his trofee.
