Yes, another of the problems I had to consider was that the filler is at the lowest point on the rear deck - go out in the rain & I wouldn't be able to refuel without a pint of rain going in the tank as the cap came off :lol:

Obviously the bowl will be cut down to fit snugly under the boot lid, the hose needs shortening & it needs a rub with some scotchbright, but for two & a half hours work, I'm quite pleased :D

I'll put the whole story on the blog in case anyone's having trouble sleeping.

After a very nice break in the New Forest with Mrs Fury, my plan today was to get the Coanda panel which leads into the main flat panels. The theory behind it is that air from the lower half of the radiator is sent under the car, where (hopefully) the Coanda effect will result in that air being dragged through by the airflow under the car, which will in turn drag more air through the radiator - we'll see.

It was already shaped when I started, but needed brackets & lightening holes – sounds simple, but it still took all day. It still needs the chassis brackets riveted on (ran out of sealed rivets), the anchor nuts fitted, & a coat of paint.

But it's done - the car has the flat floor I've always wanted.

Thanks chaps, the Fury will be back on the road on 1st Mar - hooray.

It won't have a boot lid at that stage, are there any club rules about pick-ups going on runs? :D
