It's very fantastic

Hello... bonjour... chaps..

Remember them discs??

Got the floor holes filled in:




Then got a load more cut at 20mm round and with the aid of a step drill started going round the inner wings opening everything up to 20mm and plugging them all up:




Finally bit the bullet and took the lip RIGHT off the scuttle area too, the cage blocks off the std drain points so there was a risk of the scuttle becoming a bird bath:









Finally, the wishbone gusset things are all welded in:

tig ?

Yes... TIG welded..

I'm not very good MIG welding... haha

Brace yaself... its a biggy...

Spits out! (Just like your missus):




As always Robin Hunter was called in to move the shell with his covered trailer, and it was fitted up on the spit:




Then Zane and his 2 helper set to on the underside, my prep work saved him a lot of time (and me money) and after a bit of thinners and scotchbrite was applied the bay and underside was in the bay for a coat of etch and 2 coats of high build primer..






Monday should see fresh seam sealer thrown down then stonechip in the arches and a few litres of blue+laquer..

Happy times

So... theres DEFINITELY a light at the end of the tunnel now....






























And once they're given some attention, its etch and high build primer...















And after a 20minute drive....

She's home and ready for assembly

Elle est TERRIBLE cette caisse

moi je mettrai la couche d'anticorrosion noir epaise en dessous histoire de pas abimé la peinture

Nice !

I am sorry.... my french is terrible...

JeVoudrais.....
JeMappelle....

Thats about all i have.....

pf47 said that he would add black anticorrosion paint to protect the actual paint

black anticorrosion below the châssis, below the car to avoid oxidation

Yeh but it was way funnier the way i put it

Ahhh ok...

Thankyou for being able to speak English MUCH better than i can French!!!!

Inside the chassis rails/cavities will be treated with a sealer, probably from the BiltHamber range as i have heard good things...

Inside the arches/under the sills are all stonechipped under the paint the rest will remain as you see it...

And so..... assembly begins...









Quality control was present to keep an eye on things....

Probably the last update until after xmas, so to all the viewers, have a great time ladies and gents, peace+love!! And beer... lots of fucking beer!!!

ohhhh le salo

Evening all.....

Just a quicky - been fixing the 307 and diagnosing a gearbox issue on my 172..

However!!!


I unpacked the box of plating and anodising i got done over at peterborough plating - fantastic quality!!:





This meant i could start assembling the front corners.. however the dolly i'd made for the bodyshop was going to foul the wishbones... so, i made a new narrow track 1 for the front and threw that on:







Which, after a bit of dicking around gave me:







Now... all i need to do is locate the fecking AP bolts and i can fit the discs up too!!!
