Address sent Steve.
Should be interesting trying to polish that without flinging the bits across the workshop. Was kinda hoping you'd offer Mr Slam!

Normally I would but I am about to undertake the rebuild of a supercharged sprinter on behalf of a mate. it has lain about for a few years. The hope is to get it ready for the Brighton Speed trials in September where I have been asked to pilot it too.  and as I have but a small workshop I have to be careful about dust and crap in the air as bits of polishing detritis causes havoc with engines and blowers. If you can get it polished I will be more than happy to nickel it for you. If anyone is interested I will start a thread on the Sprinter rebuild as it is a really interesting bit of kit and I am told it holds a few world records too. |

I'd be interested in the rebuild thread for the sprint machine!!! (no surprises there! ) |

Mr Slam, yes please, a thread would be most interesting!
I'll have a big heap of odds & ends from the truck to be nickel plated eventually, but would like to get Mr Brock's handiwork done before it begins to rust.

Back on track..
first day back at the 'shop today after a weeks holiday spent decorating at home.
Just as I arrived in Hampshire from Surrey I got a phone call from the missus, Taz, telling me she'd just slashed her wrist with a Stanley knife -no, not on purpose. Cutting the twine on a bale of hay at the stables. Fortunately it wasn't life threatening, but I decided perhaps I should show concern by not staying late at the workshop.
So Loony worked through my list of various bits to be welded & I cleaned them up with the grinder. Not much to show, but a small step forward.
Driver's side under-dash panel bolted in place.
Having cut a full width "glove box" lid for the 5" square cubby hole on the passenger side, I decided it looked better square, so I cut a fill-in piece, for Loony to weld in. A slightly smaller plate welded behind it produces a recessed lip for the lid to close against.

Putting a Holley on it? I remember we put one of those in a mk1 cavalier slightly tuned and it twisted the chassis wheel spun at 70 if you floored it! loads of torque.. |
