Managed to do a little more this weekend. The panel in front of the front screen required some attention, so with the repairs done, the heater blower plenum welded back in and some rust treatment, the area was shot with epoxy primer.  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis I also made some wiring/pipe securing tabs. A lot of the original ones were broken, rust and repeated attaching pipes/wiring looms make them weak. So they’re just little tabs of metal with a hole at one end to be rosette welded on  "Met"amorphosis I thought that while I was collecting the doors from the media blasters, next week, I’d drop some more bits off to be depainted.  "Met"amorphosis I managed, this week, to take some pictures of the rear most part of the roof gutters, (on the car that I’m using for reference) so that I know how to finish ours off. More than likely be done next weekend. |

Yes, it is, but it doubles up, together with the hole where the spare wheel carrier is bolted, to enable the body to be mounted on a "spit" for ease of dipping the body in its many coating/paint processes.

Well, not much happening that makes it look like it’s moving forward. This weekend I’ve done a total parts inventory, we’ve pretty much got all the big parts, but some of the smaller parts need sourcing. Last week, I managed to get the battery box assembled and welded. As this is a bolt in part, it can be fitted later.  "Met"amorphosis And at last the new rear hubs have arrived, together with the re drilled brake drums. The original hub is to the left at the back. The new ones will enable us to fit those lovely 5 stud Radirs.  "Met"amorphosis |

Thanks guys Had a little bit of time to do a couple of bits yesterday. As we’ve taken the clutch pedal out, something had to take its place on the shaft. To add some strength into the pedal shaft area I made this,  "Met"amorphosis Which fits in like this.  "Met"amorphosis Also collected the doors from the blasters (dropped some more bits off)  "Met"amorphosis And gave them a couple of coats of epoxy primer.  "Met"amorphosis |

Neat idea . Spacer and steady bracket. No nasty surprises with the doors then.  |

Neat idea . Spacer and steady bracket. No nasty surprises with the doors then. Thanks, as I've said before all the modifications I'm making are all bolt on, so that if (heaven forbid) a purist ends up buying it (after we've finished playing with it), they can return it back to original with no cutting and grinding. Now the doors, well I didn't think there were (apart from the first 2" at the bottom), but there are areas of small holes (about 1/16") and evidence of filling over the top. Must have been a belts and braces way of making sure the bondo didn't fall off  . Thanks Morrag, this one will be shiney one day!! |
