Andrew Wickham's AC Cobra Replica

Below is an extract from Andrew's kit car build diary - to read more, please visit his web site.

"Preparation

The chassis is supplied fully welded and galvanised with all the fixing holes pre-drilled. The first job was to seal all the seams to stop any water from getting in to the car. The recommended sealant is Pur-flex this forms a good seal without hardening so as to not crack.

Fuel

Two pipes are clipped down the side of the chassis from the engine bay to the rear nearside wheel where I fitted the filter and the pump the pipes then feed through the chassis up into the boot and connected to the fixed pipe outlets on the tank."
