I managed to get some work done on the front chassis & bulk head in between the adverts.
Moved the ladders in shot again, to ensure Andy doesn't miss them.
I have mainly been removing surface rust from chassis, from where the car was sitting in the damp old garage.
Made a few plates made for filling a few unwanted holes, once there in, can start priming & painting after a clean up.
Got a bit bored on chassis cleaning, so drilled a few lightening holes here & there, to break up the boredom
If you're wondering about the jack, its to used as ballast, to hold the front of the car down. Whole car is virtually balanced on the 2 rear axle stands, I took axles stands out for the photos.

Been away in Geneva, only got back last night, so not much to report. Plus a few irritants, means I am jumping from job to job.
All surplus holes in bulkhead now welded up & filled in readiness for primer. I was hoping to start priming up today, but needed a fitting for the compressor. I have ordered one now, just a pain having to wait.
Motors also on hold, as waiting for more main bearings, should be here early next week. Never ran coated bearings before, I know bearings have not been pre prepped
Trial fitted new hood, more work obviously to be done in the fitting area. I was more interested to see how it looked.
Pretty sure it will go down like Marmite, either be hated or liked, good job I like Marmite
Hood is from Dale at DRE, pleased with quality, plus I have a mould if things should go tits up

Thats OK, Mk1 Hood is in the parts bin, with the rest of the Mk1 Stuff, so it can always come back againR.RUNNER wrote:That hood won`t look as "TOUGH" as MK1

Been a while since the last update . . .
Motor - New coated bearings arrived & have now been fitted & crank is in. Not too much messing about & clearances are where I want them, so pretty happy.
Also ordered some new coated Con Rod bearings, although I think I could of used the old bearings, there were a couple of minimal marks, so decided not worth messing around with for a sake of a set of bearings, at least this way all bearings are now coated.
Heads are currently at Marc Lamudes for a freshen up, new valve guides (Steel/bronze) some new valves to replace the damage from when I leaned out & did piston damage, plus machining valve pockets for the bigger springs. Excellent service, spoke on Friday, dropped them off on Sat
Actually been starting to put bits back on the car, instead of removing for once. Fronts painted, not JPC Quality & has a couple of Kevin Petersons, but nothing that cant be flatted out. But left it at the moment, so finish is straight from the gun.
Now playing with wiring & I mean playing
Heres a few pics . . .
