nels Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I decided to make a wider base for my engine stands as my mate told me his one can feel a little unstable when you tip the car over. I don’t have a big workshop to play with just a tandem garage so don’t want to take any chances. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nels Posted November 25, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 Great news today. Had the compliance guy inspect the car from top to bottom. He was happy with everything and said go ahead and seal it up and paint it. He wants to see it all back together for the next check and then the last one is taking it for test drives and brake checks. So I was pretty stoked with that. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nels Posted December 6, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2020 Finished off stripping back the old seal and paint ready for epoxy and stone chip. I’m going to make up an old school polished stainless firewall like we used to run in the eighties so made up the template today. cant wait to get this sprayed and back on its suspension. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 First part of the firewall is all cut out. im going to cut the bigger holes for the brake booster and steering column out using a local engineering shops water jet. im getting over this stripping back milarky. painter friend of mine said doing the underneath is the shittiest part of the whole car building process so looks like I have a few more hours to go to get it ready. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 One disadvantage of having the garage attached to the house is the fumes. Made up a cheap as extractor fan to help with it all. Back to the last bit of stripping. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
