Jusepy82 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 The top hinge pin was easy , the bottom hinge pin was a total different story . I even soaked her over a couple of days , tonight I ended up getting a bit rough and ended up butchering it .oh well another thing to fix.

Jusepy82 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Solo today was the perfect day outside to start pulling the drivers side wing panel off. I have brought parts for my brake rebuild but havnt started reassembling them yet. Have been thinking about sidedrafts also , whether to fit them or just run weber carb. I'm a big fan of dropping down the brake booster by lowering the mountain holes on it but will stick to normal carbs for now. Anyhow I drilled out all the spot welds with a 6mm spotweld drill bit to find it hadn't done the job properly so I ended up using the 8mm spotweld drill bit and a lot happier with that. Got all the spot welds drilled out and started to peel the pannel away from the frame , ran out of time as was working on the eskie while baby was asleep and guess what... She woke up before I had it off completely. I'm not sure how the guard is joined onto the front bumper/panel as looks solid as...any ideas? Sorry bout all the babbling , was a solid hour and a half in the shed and was enjoyable. Anyway here's some pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
