ARRIVAL OF STARTER KIT CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
The new chassis arrives home along with cardboard boxes full of parts. The first job will be to sort through everything and check that everything is there.
A shot of the engine bay showing some of the modifications designed to make installation of the duratec a little easier. The washer bottle mount is relocated and the wiring and fuel lines run up the left hand side of the car. The brake line can also be moved although not in this case. Likewise a removable engine bay diagonal is fitted dependant on the exhaust configuration to be used.
The front suspension mounts. The car has been dlivered in bare aluminium finish as we are having it painted locally. This involves a bit more work masking the car for painting but should save quite a bit on the price Caterham quote for painting.
Standard Caterham dash with standard guages. Windscreen and other components are black powdercoated to minimise the amount of aluminium there will be to polish. The cockpit panels have been left as bare aluminium as they are to be replaced by carbon fibre panels.
The boot complete with a nice piece of plywood.......another candidate for replacing with carbon fibre in the future.
The rear of the starter chassis with no spare whwwl carrier or fixing......I must remember to buy a can of tyre weld.
