The Body Is Finally On

I thought fitting the body would be more difficult than it was and was quite surprised that it went on as easy as it did. I removed as many obstacles as I could like the radiator, fuel filler hose and rear infill panels. By removing the radiator it allows the front panels to be pulled in enough so the body mounting tabs can be slid into position.

I rounded up five extra guys to help and as Alan fell of his bike on the way to my place, he arrived looking like Dracula had a party on his face and legs but he wasn't going to miss the fun and became the designated photographer, a task he performed well. You really need five to lift and stretch the body over the door hinges and move it into place so the screws align with the original mounts, it worked out well.

From the time we picked the body up from the trolley to the time the last mounting bolt was in place was about 15 minutes.

Thanks to all those that helped and those that wished the project well, your support is invaluable.

Cheers
