GUH 731W A tale of happiness then woe then more happiness

[Karlos]

I'm watching. I also see you have a Clark 105en welder, I acquired one (used) a couple of years ago still going strong. You are getting some good results with it.

Cheers guys:D great to know people are following:) bit more progress.

[richard4040]

Today's efforts saw the rear half of the underside seam sealed











Also got the top of the o/s cill filled.

[richard4040]

Few more jobs getting ticked off the list!













Hoping to get the underside painted soon ish:D

[richard4040]

Ok sorry for the delay:D plenty more progress. The harnesses are going to mount to the top of the rear parcel shelf. So we needed to fit the harness mounting plates





The parcel shelf was a little floppy in the middle so we fixed that.



Also got the two centre mounts for the harnesses done.





Did get the side two in aswel but forgot to take a picture of them. Got 90% of the underside etch primed.





Also got the o/s/r wide arch fitting pretty well after an entire day of fettling. Pain in the arse.



More tomorrow:) or maybe the day after

[richard4040]

Plenty more work done. Got the o/s/r door stripped.













Also got a second coat of etch primer on the underside and rear arches.







And got the car floor and boot floor seam sealed ready for paint.









Hopefully I'll get some paint on the boot floor tomorrow:)

Rich, also, once you've answered Jonners' question!

What paint stripper are you using? Is it Starchem?

Great work by the way!

[GTS290N]

Long time no update, everything OK with the resto? I'm looking forward to the next installments.

[richard4040]

Sorry guys lots done just its more of a pain to update on here so been doing it on face book. I'll try and keek up on here though! Here's where we are to date:)

Floor is all seam sealed and ready for paint.



Also got the handbrake area replaced that you were asking about Jon.



















Also finished the seat mounts.





Also got under the dash all repaired and painted.

New door pins!!

[richard4040]

[GTS290N]

Wow. Superb. And those door knobs are the dog's danglies!
