Type49 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Lockdown update. The bonus of being locked down means more work on this ! Gearbox is almost back together with new gaskets, seals and a lick of paint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type49 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Pressing on with the Lockdown rebuild, decided to strip the fuel tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type49 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Found underneath the black paint some of the original Sebring Red paint. This is quite a cool coincidence, as this is a Capri fuel tank and the colour the car will be painted in. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type49 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Might as well carry on keeping the momentum going so next up for a tidy up is the front suspension, actually all I'll be using from the original is the crossmember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type49 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 The reason for only using the crossmember is i will be fitting a tension strut kit which gives a much stronger, adjustable and better located arms, and I can ditch the anti-roll bar to improve turn in on the gravel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type49 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 A couple of hours with a flap disc, some paint stripper and a small chisel to knock off bits of weld spatter. It's now ready to sandblast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type49 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Evening all, the pics I took of the xmember are too big apparantly... anyway its all blasted and etch primered. Next on the to do list is the steering rack. I started building this about 2 years ago. It's a new quick rack kit , I was trying to find a modern rack end that would but was unable. So here we are, plan B. Finish rebuilding it with standard rack ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
