IainCameron Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 That is a work of art, and a thing of beauty! Fantastic stuff. Fancy a bit of GRP work on a pair of over-wide wheel arches?

So I could not resist any longer and put the refurbed wheels on the drivers side before turning it around. The car is sitting high at present as I have got the suspension wound right up. Put mud tires, safari cars are in fashion right now 😄
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Looking really good. Am I the only one who thinks the grey primer is far from unattractive?

corsechris Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 It's frankly hard to believe how good it looks now considering where it came from. Mine was a dark blue - I liked it. A deep metallic would look nice, if not very 'original'.
KugaWestie Posted May 27, 2020 Author Posted May 27, 2020 Rear suspension radius arms cleaned, knackered bushes removed, new ones pushed in and then prepped ready for POR15 paint
KugaWestie Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Door card ply panels made from my CAD templates. They just need some push fit trim fixing clips fitting and then they are good for covering.

KugaWestie Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 I have been fiddling around with the wiper motor assembly today, no photos of that. The motor position is decided and I have routed the drive wire through the bulkhead as well as cutting the bund tube to lengths and flaring the ends. All painstakingly slow and awkward access but the hard work is done. For a change of scenery I have started to trim the boot.
Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I am so looking forward to seeing this finished, currently my favourite build thread.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 What an amazing difference even just the bulkhead makes, to the car!
