hi guys, small update for you
ive been slow at work recently so I thought id crack on with the saph while I have the chance
ive nearly finished all the welding now and should be finished tomorrow.
before I pick up were I left off I thought id just show you my cossie clocks ive got. I bought a job lot of cossie bits and took what I wanted and am selling the rest.
out of the lot I got
cossie headlights,
nsr light (mine cracked)
glove box (my handle broke)
white dial cossie clocks
4 switch window switch
lock wood stainless sill covers
I think a few bits more but cant think now lol
heres the clocks
right on with the welding
I started by finishing the welding on the arch and rear sill
I had a little trouble with this one. I did this side exactly the same as the other side but on this side the repair panel seemed to be a bit twisted, I struggled to get it to line up and still it doesn't line up very well near the fuel cap, so im going to trial fit my rear bumper and see what its like and have a bash at getting the rear quarters flatter and looking good. If I fail ill pay a body shop to prep and prime the car and ill paint it.
here the rear sill part, I know it doesn't look pretty smothered in seam sealer but it protects it well and it will be under a skirt, this will never be a gleaming immaculate cossie, that's going to be a used and abused full cosworth replica.
from this
to this
Also today I did an unexpected bit I found, which was the other seat mount on the passenger side, so I got that done, apart from the hole and weld a nut on as the seats are packed away so that can wait
I did put a load of seam sealer on that too but forgot to take pic
now the last bit I managed to to today took longer than expected but was a little worse than first thought. It was the passenger front door seal lip, it was rotting but hadn't come through the flat part of the sill so I cut the rot out but discover the metal on the flat part of the sill was very thin so I cut that back too. When welding in new metal in did 3 skins for the seal lip so looked as it should, I also took the time to flush the welds as it visual
that's it for now but hopefully ill finish the 3 bits of welding I need to do and remove the cross member, arms, hubs, remove the heat shields and clips on underside and finish shutzing floor pan
see you soon, cheers for looking
