[madmark]

[AlanN]

a few layers of colour there Luke... have you picked one yet?

[madmark]

i think ambassador blue is the colour that needs to be!

[Luke]

so far this is favorite viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35817

but i might change my mind only had the pickup 10 years to decide

and the colours that it's been so far ........ pink - when i got it (seriously you can just see the headlight surround) red, white, green, orange,blue and yellow so quite a few layers to get off

[Luke]

Got the front screen out - some more welding to do but it's better than we expected

rear window is out too - could do with a new seal - anyone know if these are available

[Luke]

We've been working on this every other evening but ive had problems getting the photos off stus phone - so not really had much to report on here

been up today took some photos with my camera

one of the door - no welding req'd just filler on a scrape that was there



photobuckets slow to upload for some reason

[Luke]

This bit i made from a filling cabinet this is just the 1st skim of filler it was completely rotton but its all new metal now ive got some before pics i'll edit in if i can get them off the phone

[Luke]

bonnet this needed a piece about 1½" sq. welding in the corner, before we started prodding it was just a pinhole

[Luke]

got this bit to do

[AlanN]

PG tips comes to mind!!!

[Luke]

another pic

i'm after this piece as a repair panel


also i'm thinking of lowering the engine it sits a bit too high the engine mounts were from another mk1 Di they look a bit of a bodge, the chassis mounts were fitted by me for a different Di which sat better with different mounts but ive since thrown them away

This bit i made from a filling cabinet

[AlanN]

Why are you heading down that noisy Di route, a man of your skills should be fitting something quite and modern
