Shauns Anglia Pickup

[VALLEYSBOY]

hmm yeah especially when u think about the price tag they had in kit form alone having visited many kitcar events

[panthershaun]

i loved them marcos creations in yrs gone by tis sad to see it lying there like that and i thought shaun liked the cv's where's the bloody body gone

Thats at home on the driveway sitting on the old 2cv chassis

I'm not sure about the history of the Marcos, but this one is I'm told a genuine factory built one and not a kit put together in a shed/garage.....

Good to see you both, sorry the weather I ordered didn't arrive  next time you see the Anglia it will be parked outside Loony's workshop when I drive it down 

[Manky Monkey]

[panthershaun]

We'll both be on the road for the Summer Shauny. No problem.

I was going to tell you about my recent time in the workshop, but now I'm going to sulk






































not really

I'm slowly mastering the art of the mig welder, and last sat I welded in the one of the new custom inner sill's. I would have taken a picture but I left the camera at home  the lower cab back is also welded in place but will need some cutting once I have refitted the engine/box and worked out the run of the prop.

more to follow

That's 2 jobs you've done that we've yet to do to ours. Piccies. We need piccies Shaun. 

[panthershaun]

will try and get some on here later

[panthershaun]

Slowly slowly catchy monkey  or so they say 
I'm planning on spending all day sat up the barn working on the Pop, hope to have both inner sills welded in and then I can cut away the bracing frame and refit the engine and box and start the fab of the bulkhead.

I'm slightly stressed at the moment and will be taking my lump hammer with me and beat the living s**t out of any metal that doesn't work with me 

photo's will follow

[Manky Monkey]

Oo-err! Think I'll steer clear of the Panther workshop for a while! Take it easy Shauny. 

[panthershaun]

well I finally got some time up the barn, not that much achieved but all the job's I have been doing are fiddly little things that take ages but don't really show
Mocked her up on her wheels today, rear chassis is sitting on wooden blocks and is tied to the rear axle to get the stance right. Engine refitted and measurements taken, she will have around 6 inches under the sills and be around 57.5 inches to the top of the roof.
Also made a template of the new bulk head and made a start cutting it out.
Here are a couple of tasters 

[Manky Monkey]

Looking good Shauny. 
We displayed ours at the Basingstoke Festival of Transport today in a very similar condition. Got huge amounts of interest from Joe Public. We really need to get these things on the road soon mate!

Are you tempted to take a slice out of the grille-shell to give a slight downward slope to the bonnet-top?
