just thought i would update my resto thread as lots has gone on since my last post, i have stripped cleaned and painted my rear axle and replaced the pinion oil seal, i have just got all the wood back from a friend who restores/makes furniture he has done one set standard finish and a second set black with a silver/grey wood grain effect then clear coated which does look superb i just think its getting a little bit to far away from my original breif of a resto with modern technology.I have made a new bulkhead pad from the foam that i found at a local suppliers of kit car parts and it looks spot on with a original
, this weekend i am going to try and find time to clean and paint my rebuilt gearbox and assemble my front hubs now i have my ball joints(cheers david) and install my new brakes which have been sitting on display in the lounge it seems such a shame to fit them and see them get grubby but hey thats what there for.
I am going to emsworth tmrw to pick up my rebuilt bottom end and then monday go to Bill Richards racing to see how the cylinder head is coming along, once all the parts are ready get the engine built up ready for the long awaited re assemble.
After reading the post on the number of cars left the other night i am now actively chasing the guy who wanted to sell the 1500tc in the barn up the road from me who at the time wanted £400 for the part stripped but running honeysuckle tc, i did turn down the offer as it seemed rusty but now after playing with jyp over the last few months it actually now does not look to bad it needs cills but that looks like it.As soon as i get pics of the car i will add them to this thread
