Page 11: The frame is almost finished! S and SV updates in place
April 2003
April 17th: Here are SV updates made to the bottom of the car.
 |
Almost finished now. The S and SV modifications are clearly visible. This extra ducting brings more air up into the engine bay. The two small vents were added with the S and the larger vents on each side were added with the SV. | |
 |
Another shot of the ducts. | |
 |
From the rear looking forward. Alan, one of Bobileff's body men, updates his records. Alan has done several Miuras, including two for Joe Sackey: The lime green SV (last SV in the US) and the SV formerly owned by the Shaw of Iran. | |
 |
All this venting should keep the engine cool. The frame rails have been nicely finished off, with the X braces inside, never to be seen again. Hopefully. | |
 |
Bobileff welds this thick piece of steel under the rear of the frame. People often try to jack the car up from this point and without this reinforcement a stock frame dents and bends. My frame now has all of the X bracing welded inside so even without this plate it would be much stronger than stock. Still, this is a great addition. | |

April 26th: All epoxy primered, the frame is done except for a few small details. |
