Outstanding work and attention to detail. Good to see another car saved.

Not looked in for a while mate

It's coming along really well you'll soon be finished

Well not much to see but had a solid day of welding and grinding

 

Managed to get some seam welds on the scuttle to wing flange

 

Then noticed this issue on the r/h wing.

 

Somehow i managed to miss this so after some cunning cutting (chain drilling) and a bit of welding and die grinding i got this

 

It looks pretty much square on like the l/h side so it pays to check even Heritage panels for distorted ends.

What's next ?

What's next ?

 

4 Tabs to weld on the wings, A panel and front panel. Then its off with the subbie and replace part of the lower bulkhead. Then weld a welding rod to the drivers door bottom edge. 

 

After that its sealing time. And bye bye special.

So will we not see it being painted and reassembled Neil?

I'm afraid not, i was only doing the bodywork side of it. The rest is up to Will.

I don't suppose he is a member on here then?

No mate he's not although i will be trying to get him to join. As far as i know the car will be going back into the container he stored it in previously. Not the best idea as it really needs painting etc before it does.

Yep Paddy's turn next although i do have a Landy to weld first and a couple of doors to skin.

Tabs are on

Filled the gaps between the wing flange to windscreen pillar on both sides

 

Then today it was off with the front subbie so i could get to this

 

So out it came

 

and this is what was lurking under the seam

 

New metal going in tomorrow.

Neil them there tabs you have put on. 

 

Are they just folded steel? 

 

Think of putting some on my removable front to add some strength that's all.
