Hey all,
been working on the banger today. Made a body mount extender so the rear mount will reach the roof of my shells, made a new narrow front body mount so I can use the morris minor shell (the bonnet on the moulding is too narrow for the standard mount), made a front bumper, made an aerial plate.
All extremely rough and thrown together badly - I can't do any prep over the weekend so I decided speed is of the essence this time - I can always tidy or remake stuff later.
Also, blew some paint onto the Austin shell - just some old paint I had knocking around - didn't do much (any) prep so I think it'll be nasty and flakey. Finished off by fitting the new bearings on the back axle, stripping and fettling the steering a bit (so the old knackered servo will almost actually turn it), and made a few suspension tweaks.
I might actually now have something to run on sunday, but it ain't gonna be pretty!
How you all doing with your creations?
Cheers all, davey.
