Pm on its way Ken
Today saw David and I tinkering with the little white/black/white/primer/rusty FWD or as David has named it 'heap of shite that needs scrapping' and after breaking one starter motor we had it running (without keys) as yet undecided as to what course of action will be taken as it will be a while before Sarahs car is finished and out of the way.

[Purplebargeken]

C'mon J, do a proper resto job on it.

It's solid enough in the rest of the body and I cut most of the crap out on the inner wing. You have a black interior to go in. Treat her nice. She will be ok for a few months until you have completed Sarah's car.

Proper restro job, well not sure about that, it has now grown new lights and has some LHHB stylee bodgery to get them to fit, it now runs, changes gear and stops, when i say stop I actually mean slows down and rolls to stop
New black interior in, new wheels on and is now known as Roland (The rat!)






Tomorrow will hopefully see the new innerwing and new mickeymouse panels made.

[Purplebargeken]

Did you find any damson light pods in the car, forgot to ask (I think, actually I'm not sure, damn).

[1300dolly]

You did ask and no I didn't but I do have spare ones of you want it.

[Purplebargeken]

No worries mate, just trying to figure out what the heck I have done with them.

[1300dolly]

mickey mouse ear made, Inner wing, outerwing and headlight cowling temp fixed in place to get it all lined up at some point in its past with the original owner teh car suffered a slight front impact pushing the nearside up and in and the reason why the cowling never fitted properly.
I toyed wth fitting short bumpers but test fitting made my change my mind, the repeaters will be running lights/indicators.
I also broke the thrust bearing today so that another job to do

[Purplebargeken]

Dozy sod, how'd ya manage that?

[Spunkymonkey]

I may have a suitably ratty spare engine and box for that in a month or two Justyn. Nice and reliable and it'd be a shame to spoil the overall effect with something that runs too quietly

[1300dolly]

With a straight through exhaust it aint quiet.

[1300dolly]

Today saw the new thrust bearing going in and most of the electrics soretd with an alternator replacing the dynamo, it now stops and starts on the key.
Tomorrow I will finish the electrics so everything important will work (hopefully)

Total cash spent to date (excluding purachase and delivery) is £00.00.
