today we made the bulkhead panel and welded it in place with just a small hole for the 'new' column to poke through as planned. the new intermediate shaft and uj's were then bolted in place. we noticed a couple of pin holes on the floor so we decided they'd be much easier to repair while inside the car. that then made the decision to add the mounting tabs between the column and bulkhead while we're in there rather than struggling up on steps through the half open door gap. once down on it's wheels we can roll it forward clear of the ramp to get the door wide open, it'll be much easier to work in there then. sooooo.... we looked at what else we could get done today and thought ''we'll hang the front wings so they're out of the way''. first though we fitted the n/s nutserts to the new inner wing. we then drilled the o/s ones out and replaced them with the new ones that are 'ribbed' where they pinch onto the panel unlike the old ones which were smooth. the ribbed ones won't work loose and turn if the wing ever has to come off again. last job today then was bolting the wings in place.
neil.
