Nice work, given me some inspiration to get some work done on my own Van project.

[Cavazzi]

Just found a picture of the 10" rims i bought before christmas as a present for myself

Seller said they are 10x5", does that size even exist? they should be original BMC wheels, they were fitted on sellers clubman estate until he sold it and then stored for 10 years.

I paid 100Dkr ~ 10£

Cheers Christian

10 pound each or for both? it's cheap! they will look awesome on the van!

For both, i like them alot. Im imaging a deep white car with black roof, black wheels with chrome hubcaps on.

BIG UPDATE!!

 

We got a lot finished this weekend, we had a full day working on the car and finished off the right inner wing, got the inner A panel on the left side mounted. We even had time to test fit the outer wing and scuttle repair panel.

 

We made a list of thing to do before sandblasting:

- New A-post right side.

- A-panel right side.

- repair loadbay around wheel arches.

- Hole for fuel tank filler neck.

- Repair scuttle panel right and left side.

- Lots of welds to grind down.

 

 

Prepped for the new inner wing.

 

Before being mounted.

 

Took a lot of fiddling and work before it would get in place.

 

 

My dad tack welding the inner wing.

 

 

Fitted and primed.

 

 

Loads of primer.

 

 

A-panel mounted.

 

Inside view.

 

Outer wing and outer a-panel test fitted, perfect fit. they wont by mounted until after sandblasting.

 

 

Test fitting scuttle repair panel, it fits like crap.

 

All for now

We are making a lot of progess when we work on it, but unfortunately theres a month between every work day.

 

I havent set a date for when i want it finished, but hoping for summer 2015, as i will hopefully finish my education january 2015, then i should be able finish it rather quickly.

Saturday my dad had some time on the car and made a repair panel for the loadbay around the left wheelarch.

 

Talked to my parts pusher, who told me the panels at offer wasn't really good and we would be better making it ourselfes wich "we" did.

 

 

 

 

 

Cut out and ready to be welded in

Been a long time since last update but a lot have happened, not on the car but in my life.

 

Bought a new daily driver with a broken engine and had to swap engine.

Spent a lot of time studying and is now only ½ year from being a Marine engineer of 2nd degree with watchkeeping papers.

Been out sailing the whole summer (2 months) as a part of school.

 

While i was out sailing the car went to sandblasting and primer (pictures follows)

 

And my father bought a spot welder so now we can make even better finish on the car.

 

On its way

 

Picking it up

 

Home again

 

 

 

 

Newest acquisition for the toolbox

Looking Good, will definately keep an eye on this one

Friday i bought a "new'ish" Engine, a 998cc in good condition. i came out of a running car were it has been running with no problems. There were no flywheel and cylinderhead on, but a accuspark distributor came with and billet alloy rockers.

Im gonna take it apart and change all gaskets, do a honing of the cylinders, and put in flat top pistons. Then have my 12g295 cylinderhead overhauled and put on together with a 276 deg. cam (kent or piper). should be a nice engine with twin H2 carbs for good response.

 

In need of a wash
