looks like someones been a busy boy..looking great sal

[hoody99]

Looking cracking bud keep it up and will be putting it back together in no time

So the front ends just arrived    Yipee.... Sliced my finger getting the front panel out the box though!

 

Front panel really is a thing of beauty.

 

 

 

Offering the wings to the front panel though does seem that one or the other will need some slight profiling to get the fit better. Nothing a bit of pushing and pulling will sort out though.

 

Nearside step and rear quarter.

 

 

All together now

 

[Simon1867]

coming together nicely

This might be a silly question but i just thought.

If doing a removeable frontend, do i still use the teardrops on the front panel?

I plan to mount the panel on bonnet pins using the hole in the front of the panel.

is that front panel M-machine?

 

Love their stuff!

 

It has that look of being hand made and not mass produced. Lovely!

[SAL 821X]

It is ben I'd love to buy another lacquer it and hang it on the wall.

[minbin 69]

very nice sal..though that front panel would look so much better with the skirt adapters on it

[SAL 821X]

Agreed, however the purists might have something to say about that! haha.

that fresh metal fron panel looks mint! seems a shame to fit it and paint it lol. wall mount the bugger

[SAL 821X]

For the first time in 2 or 3 years the old girls finally the right way up!

 

 

 

 

 

Going over tonight to get the rack and front subby in.

[Ben_O]

woohoo!

[Gadgets]

Whats next on the list to do Matt?

[SAL 821X]

I dread to think Garry... The snagging list is as long as the to do list it seams.

 

Really need to finish of some bits before starting any more.

 

X-member needs welding in

Inner sill where it meets the toe board needs a tidy

All floor welds on the inside need dressing

heal board / load bed needs plug welds dressing

load bed needs a few of the larger dents bashing out

nearside A panel needs to come off to replace the door step and A panel needs to go back on

nearside rear quarter needs doing again

off side A panel needs fixing on

Front end needs welding with fixings for removable front then priming

 

That's before getting anywhere near starting the bodywork prep.....

 

Then it's engine and wiring install, brakes and clutch bleeding, fitting interior (which I haven't got yet, wheels need tyres....... so on and so on.

 

The end of July and IMM is looking increasingly optimistic!!!!
