My name is Russell Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Spent weekend working on car, pumped the rear guards with the Fender Reforming Tool, ended up using it as more of a dolly to hammer against. Removed petrol tank and welded up the reverse light holes, badge wholes and trim wholes. Took front struts out and dropped the spring off to be compressed. Painted front sway bar and fixed a little rust on one of the guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Picked up some Austin Princess 4 Pot Brake Calipers and vented Ford Capri Discs on TM should help her stop better when the 2L conversion is done. Also picked up a Central Locking Kit that hopefully i will be able to get to work then wire up to an alarm and shave all the door locks. and got a battery protector that is supposed to cut of the power suply to your electronics if your battery is running to close to flat.

Have welded up a few wholes; New disks Vs Old New AP Calipers and old Installed the central locking on all 4 doors so once iv made sure thats working reliably with the alarm will shave the drivers lock also and hook up to the alarm just need to come up with a contingancy plan for if the battery goes flat any ideas? Welded up the broken drivers seat rough as but will hopefully pass a WOF and do for now untill i can get new seats certed along with everything else. Got a new shinney wheel and boss kit replaced the mk2 boot poper swith with one i picked up from J Car ... its a key spring loaded critter that seems to do the trick.

My name is Russell Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 guards fixed on now so here are some pics. Marking out and cutting of the front guard alowing room for the edge to be roled out. marking and cutting of the rear guard which wasnt as simple as the front as it had double skins. What bog? The double skins on the rear guard were both folded outwards then welded back together with the slits also later welded and tack welds also along the edge. The front guard was also folded out at 90 degrees proior to doig this the panel was flimzy as hell but once this was done it was quite rigid. Test fit (front) (Front) (Front) (Rear) should of fitted all the wheels and taken a photo but couldnt be assed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
