Hi All

 

Small update I spent half of my Saturday cleaning up the bulkhead... It a lot of work !!!! 

 

Started out like this...

 

 

Rubberising Compound is a total disaster to remove even with this tool....

 

 

But we got there.....

 

 

 

 

After doing both the sides I sprayed her up with some Primer...

 

 

 

This was really on of those jobs you never want to repeat ....

 

 

Cheers.

I agree with you there - absolute pain of a job. At least yours has the front end off, I had to do it with fenders etc. still attached.

Zet, is there a specific reason why you cut the inner fenders off like a neanderthal?

 

Looks good in any case, I need to get one of those wire brush thingys. . .

O and by the way, very little rust there, bar the floors. Looks quite solid if I may say so.

Hi All

 

Its been a long while and allot has happened... with all the toys for Jim just laying around , I had the great idea of buying a development car to sort everything out before it gets put on Jim.

 

So everybody please meet Jim 0.5 .....

Now the fun begins......

 

1. Engine Swap...

 

Out with the old....

 

 

 

And in with the new ...(1380cc)

 

Result ?

 

 

Almost forgot the other toys...

 

 

And the new exhaust....

 

 

She finally runs... (After an electrical, drive-shaft and Fueling problem. With help from Willy)

 

 

I will be updating some of the more minor repairs done on Jim 0.5 as I get to them...

 

Cheers.
