Dashboard to get right was painful, the speedo i believe is off an austin 7 which is half the size of original and no miles on it!

Blimey R22 you are a busy bee, great project

[Helicoptermanr22]

Cheers dude, 3 years so far of swearing tears and doing a basil faulty with a large branch!

Getting close to the end now then off to Salisbury plain for some off road entertainment

So what you gonna be doing with this asgard?

Its my new Nav tower, just need to make a bracket to fit my 701

(Really its a job for someone who had engine failure in a Skyarrow and is having it rebuilt, just checking and replacing the odd component, its a horrible panel for a modern machine IMO )

Bulkhead was a bitch to get right

So far its all straight and welding distortion has been re done and dealt with

[Helicoptermanr22]

This is where you gotta hope that everything is very straight below and that any square panels fit right.
Alot of them didn't so multiple adjustments needed even to the point of moving chassis outriggers, im only guessing and visually copying pics of the net and then you realise a component your trying to fit and look right is in the wrong place!
This is now the correct colour that the whole thing will be painted in
Stay safe all

I hate panelwork, its nearly £90 a sheet of alloy so fucking it up isn't an option
