I stripped one on the drive the other week, about killed my back. I'd forgotten how horrible it is to work without a lift lol.

Harden up lad

Is this project still happening? or has Dog scrapped it

[luvlygal]

Talk to the weather man in 'ereford and tell him to sort his act out. When that happens, something might get done

[Dog]

I 'spose I better keep this up-to-date!

Not much has happened to be honest.

Shes not heartless, completel glass less, interoirless, infact, theres nothing left on her other than wheels, and doors lol.

I must admit, I'm loosing my touch on getting engines out... it took me 3 hours to get Juice's engine out, I could get the Vans out within an hour...

ahh well.


Few pics....









Next jobs to do are, to wait for a welding so I can brace the inside up, and I'm still waiting for some wheels, as I don't want to turn her over on the alloys. Oh and I need to remove the arches, but I need to tickle them with the grinder, as the studs that orginially kept them in place, have rusted up, and won't come undone.

If anyone in the Herefordshire or Hertfordshire area has a set of 10 or 12" steelies in the way, and want rid, please, contact either me or Luvlygal.

Cheers all.

If you need some other parts Dog, like cones, grille and some other bits then sent me a PM. They're still kicking around in the garage and I'm in Hertfordshire of course.

[luvlygal]

Hey Magic, feel like sending me a list of what you've got over PM?

[Retro_10s]

Any progress?

[Dog]

cooor, all these people with sudden interest haha!

no real progress as yet, awaiting on parts before the next stage is comenced.

the next stage is to roll her over, and cut the floor out.

[Dog&luvly]

Progress!

We went out on Sunday after a little saving and some mini motivation from Castle Combe and bought a nice shiney new welder



Then, Sunday night, having been looking for a set of steelies to roll her around on, we had a text message from miss Shedonwheels asking us if we were interested in a set of wheels for £20! I texted her back straight away asking when we could go and get them!! Thanks Amy



Last but not least, we were thinking of buying or making a rolling jig. Anywho, Mart got in touch with one of his mates and he's lending us most of his jig! Mart just has to get the missing bits!



Things are actually starting to happen!!

[Dog]

Coming together now eh!?

I'd say by end of Oct, she'll be on the jig, and awaiting her next installment of parts!
