this is what was brought here.
all ive done so far is to knock most of the dents outa the legshields/running boards and sand off the paint round the
rear end.
this is done to show up the factory spot welds which will be drill out to remove the original metalwork lurking underneath
26/2/07
while waiting for paint to dry on another project i decided to drill a few holes and remove the unwanted
metal.
no turning back now
whoops.feb 2008 now
a whole year past and finally i get to start it properly
mounted frame on jig and cut out
0ld engine mount and surounding metal
done engine mount metalwork.
engine is a p range engine with a wider back wheel so the engine was moved over to suit,
engine mocked up for further metalwork
cardboard template in place to work out how the rear ends going to end up
the easy side made and tacked in place
bottom view showing the rolled edge and how curved the panel is
inside showing the strenthening added to take the larger engine and the cut out where the regulator
will mount.
coil mounts above
the start of the other side.
had to make this up in two bits.
could of miged this but decided to gas weld it and hammer the welds as i wanted as little distortion
as possible.
also would be to tricky to try to ground down if i used the mig.
this side is recessed in slightly to clear the barrel and carb manifold.
rear end rolled and a thingy!!!!!!!! added to the side to allow for the shock top rubber to fit
in.
