thankyou

[Bungle]

do you think this is my original battery tray ?

it's a proper one, welded in properly and the original body colour (it's had about 6 different colours since then)



the drivers side metal work is all done now, filled and zinc primered



passenger side has had a few patches



next is to replace the chassis top and battery tray

[Bungle]

that should be all the welding now done







chassis tops, battery tray and a few little bits

Brilliant!
Can't wait to see it all come together!

[Bungle]

everything zinc primed and ready for painting

[Bungle]

just as well Mrs B didn't have any washing on today

[Bungle]

another coat of red oxide primer today



did the bit above the gear box as well

[Bungle]

Very pretty. It's suspiciously Pageant blue-ish, isn't it? Huey will be jealous.

more like rustoleum blue

had the messy job of waxoyling this morning, done above the gear box and all the box sections of chassis and around the engine bay

some how in this little area i got through almost 5 litres

this afternoon i got the gear box refitted, I'm sure there must be a easier way than lying on your back bench pressing it into position with 1 hand while the other trys to stick a screw driver in the mounting holes



got the clutch cable connected and a new conduit + shift rods



as most of the shiny paint is now covered with waxoyl here are some more of the engine bay





drive shafts tomorrow + new CV boots

today i turned my attention to sound proofing

fitted some sound deadening pads to the roof of the engine bay



and fitted some heat insulating to the metal panels that fit to the roof of the engine bay



i just need some replacement foam type stuff now as the old stuff was to burnt to reuse

Isabelle (baby Bungle) came out in the garage this afternoon and helped me refit the sound deadening and the metal plate that holds it up

attacked my fan shroud today





smoothed off the bit at the top where the single carb sat and narrowed the sides so they don't rub on the delli's

+welded up a few holes and cracks on other bits of tin ware
