Ulysses

Great start Riccy looking forward to seeing the end results.

More progress. Front end nearly complete, just the bridge across the radiator to sort. Made some brackets for the body mounts as well

Driverside:




Passenger:

Thats some nice bodywork there, good job!

Yay! finally, the front end is complete

Put the bridge across to join it all together and welded up...



Then a liberal coat of Buzzweld RCP primer (nearly the same colour as the original primer)...









Decided to add some drainage holes into the new chassis mounts as well, they are a valley so bound to fill up at some point.

Also discovered the front panhard mount had a hole, so plated that up and more Buzzweld on it...



Sills and middle body mounts next.

I keep looking at Kiethy's red trayback one and then looking at the angle grinder :evil:. Really tempting, but must at least get this one MOT'd first :evil:

Oh, and I forgot to add that the new shafts/CV's are in now and work a treat (Thanks Maverick/Brett ), However on initial trial with the original vac hubs there was still the flashing 4x4 light

Also discovered that it had the wrong brake discs on (smaller inner bore size). No wonder they were hard to get off! So... fished some out of the scrap pile from J999 MNY and cleaned them up. Not ideal but will do for an MOT. Also tried J999 MNY's old vac hubs on with no improvement. Manual hubs are looking more and more likley :laugh:

It's impressive how much these cars differ/rot differently.....mines a year newer and the chassis is so much cleaner/not as rotten.....still issues to be taken care of though.


Front end looks well mate!

I need a better look at Buzzweld as I want a shiny chassis on the new car.
