Scratch built car
Discussion
The next stage was to make the new door post, front inner door frame and the electric window motor support plate. The side impact beams will now be move to the outside of the door frame to make maintenance simpler when working on the electric windows. Beams will be made of CDS steel tube and they will link the front/back inner door frames together. Andy
Before installing the new door post it made sense to sort out the pedal box while I had more access to the footwell area. Since the gearbox is an auto I removed the clutch pedal on the pedal box and replace it with a foot rest. I wanted the option to go manual (just in case) so there is space for a clutch master cylinder next to the brake master cylinders.

Great to see you’ve found the time/enthusiasm to pick this up again. As I’ve said previously it’s one my favourite threads ever on PH.
Totally agree with this.I love watching stuff being built, especially to when it's being done with a high level of skill and to such a high standard.
Thanks 4Q, TVR-Stu and Bobberoo, Andy
As mentioned earlier I decided to go with a new door frame design using box and CDS tube for the side impact beams. The CDS tubes have been move to the outside edge of the door which allows for greater protection and they are also lighter than the box used before. Also access to the window mechanisms will be easier to get at. Andy
