Still not pretty but at least the bits are actually welded together now.


Got 99% of the prep done for finishing the steering rack job.
Dusty!

I have just realised the nearside mods at the rear of the frame may be in the way of the gear linkage on a pg1. I'll have to mock it up and see...

Rather annoyingly I ran out of polyester resin about 1/3 of the way though the steering rack job, so I'll have to sand what I did today and start over when I've got some more.

I did manage to get mgf gear linkage off, which is a bugger, because the cable bracket gets in the way of the roll pin, and the linkage part stops you putting a socket on the nut that, in my case, the spanner rounded off!
Anyway, the rover 200 pg1 linkage fits past the subframe revisions, so that's good.

[Alburglar]

Slightly better pg1 linkage shot. I have no idea what car this linkage came from? Rover 25?

A messy job, but steering rack job is glassed in on the bulkhead side now.

[hoody99]

You got shares in rubber gloves lol just a wee drop you've went through there lol looking awesome tho bud 

[Alburglar]

Lol. Yeah. want to buy a box?

I finally got round to sanding both sides down and was thinking about painting bulkhead,
But thought I'd offer everything up first.



Good job I did because the near side rack gaiter needs more clearance

So I got busy with the pot noodles and gloves again!

More pics needed!!

[Tomf]

Yea life does tend to get in the way and slow things down a lot.

Yea it's on an r65 box but can't be bothered to strip it down to swap the flywheel at this stage.

Just waiting for my seats to be delivered now then I'll be getting it in for an mot.

Iv not really got any upto date pictures atm I'll take some when I push it out the workshop.

Hi, I have owned two of these,

 

The red on in the pics on a previous page was mine...(infact im in the pic lol) it was a barn find I bought years ago.

 

Loving the enthusiasm and glad your keeping it alive! I knew the guy who originally built your car and painted in in the orange colour. Very cool! 

[Alburglar]

Hi.
Dunno if I'm gonna keep the orange or not. I quite like it, but it all has to come off anyway, back to gel coat as it's peeling off.
