Type49 Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 Quick tidy up and etch prime. That's me done for tonight. Hopefully this is the last welding I'll be doing on the shell. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type49 Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 Overdue update... I finished welding the panhard rod bracket on the diff, tidied up the other two link brackets and shock brackets and have sent the housing away to get sand blasted. Hopefully the panelbeater will be along this weekend to make some progress on the bodywork. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type49 Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 These also turned up yesterday. Group 4 wheel studs. I will be converting the rear axles to accept these. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type49 Posted June 29 Author Report Share Posted June 29 So the axle housing came back yesterday from the sandblasters. Had to make sure I was happy with it so I could get a couple of good coats of etch primer onto it before it rusted before my eyes. Gotta love this time of year for painting 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type49 Posted July 5 Author Report Share Posted July 5 Have modified the axles to accept the Group 4 studs. Have tried a trick i heard from a good friend of mine for treating the axles with dry ice, we will see how this works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
