I have booked the transport to SMS Autospray over the weekend for Friday 27th of this month so the race is on to make sure it is ready to go.
I started the weekend off finishing off the mirror mountings which involved cutting holes in the A pillar mouldings and fitting the small stainless spacer tooling and equipment made for me.

Above is the spacer before cutting the hole.
Above and below is once finished.
I then fitted the boot seal as SMS need it fitted to set the boot.
Next was the windscreen escutcheons. No idea how they are supposed to fit but they took a fair bit of modification (filing of the slot) to make them fit.
I then stripped everything off ready for painting.
I have also received this weekend my latest batch of stainless bits
. Headrest plates and mounting bars
. Boot lock cover and boot handle slot cover.

Finally I visited JIm in Heanor who is building a Dax the same as mine.
He kindly gave me various stainless bits and bobs (Handbrake cable, brackets, lower wishbone plates etc) which I will try and fit before the car goes. Many thanks Jim.
