23rd March 2000:

So much to do. It was the turn of the rear suspension. All had to come out, be cleaned up, painted in satin black, rebushed - spot those purple Powerflex bushes. As with the front, the inner wings have all been stone chipped in black - in fact the whole underside of the car has been.

The hoses in this picture are to the fuel filler - the flush fit cap is off as the car is almost ready for final prep and priming - due to go to the paint shop on Wednesday. The idea is to fill all the welds so everything is nice and smooth and straight etc. Then the paint is left to dry by itself for a week or so (rather than oven baking) during which time the roll cage can be assembled and the wiring can be started. Then she goes back to the paint shop for some colour!

The only Y10 in the world with this kind of rear view! It was hoped to polish up the diff housing but it didn't look right so black it was.
