Rear Firewall Strip

The rubber seal over the back of the engine and above the gearbox slots in place into a grooved recess on the engine firewall. This was in a bit of a poor state:

We cut this channel off so we could work on it properly. Then we could tidy up the bodywork behind it and get this all straight and smooth again.

Once we had re-worked the channel, it was spot-welded back into place using all the original spot welds.

We can now trial-fit a seal into this and re-shape the recess lip back to the original. With this channel back into place, the whole engine bay has become much stronger.
