then we tackled the fusebox tray , as it was deffo past its best ,
with the paint removed we found this ,
the wiper bracket was took off at the spotwelds , and after a little bit of grinding ?
ohh shes a peach
- some right fucking cowboy repairs on this one folks pmsl
my favourite tool , the trusty 5 inch grinder
before
and with a couple of hand frabricated bits to button it up ,
red oxide primer to protect ,
rot ? what rot ?
adam had discussed a pedal box conversion before the car was deliverd , but planned on holding off till funds allowed , but as all the hard work in our mind is being done now seemed stupid not to put it in now
so , a plate was teplated to the pb , location decided and old metal cut out and the mount plate fitted
old peice vs new peice ,
all welds then ground back and flatted coat of red oxide for protection
also welded in the bolts to the pb , bit of forward thinking for adam as save the chew when tightening in ,
cylinders mocked in
the pb in question look like a mk 1 -mk2 item , came with integral throttle bracket , we decide to remove this as the cars going to be zvh theres no need for anthing more than a stock accell pedal ,
interior pics
as you cas see all clearances were checked regards steering assembly
in this pic you can see the vertical brace coming down to the steering coloum mount , rather than weld to to support we decided to bolt it , allows removal of full coloum and heater box pipes can still be fitted
drivers inner wing panel looked a bit grotty ,
if in doubt , cut it out ,
fully spotwelded bk in
front if the inner wing and wing rail
weld , what weld ??
