there not cheap but they are very good

thanks luke i had a real good day on it saturday ,have not touched it since been to busy but i will get on it again tomorrow

they do cut real easy & it keeps the steel flat to which is surprising as it cuts on three edges at once .

 

nice job!!

Comming along very nicely!

 

Cheers Andy

I will have a look down the paint suppliers and see what he's got available,

And for the gun I've already bought the sealer shutz gun so that's sorted

 

Excellent work Andy Dont forget to cut the hole for the heater blower now :P

RE the Bodyline stuff - I did think when you mentioned it earlier they had gone out of business a few years back but then thought it might be a difference in scottish/ english suppliers. Its a shame really, I used to have to get all sorts of different brands from a few different suppliers just to fill the hole one single supplier had left.

Anyways, keep up the good work Andy

 

not done much this week here is the rear inner roof panel

this is the spot welder i borrowed to do all the spot welding with .

i also bought a new iscv off ebay to use along with the original iscv so i can have two stage anti lag .

pic of the group A heater unit

 

looking good Andy

 

thanks ian

 

Looking Good Andy Great Progress ay?

 

thanks dave im getting there mate.

 

Where did you get that heater from mate?

 

Andy got it off EBAY

 

its only a modified standard item, the centre is wrapped in aluminium and riveted on and sealed, and the air intakes are plates with tubes so you can vent the intakes up to the scuttle panel trim.

it was for a crap rule from the MSA about the heater being able to draw in fumes and fire if the engine bay caught fire - didnt matter that the reast of the box was plastic and would melt anyway !

 

Thanks for explaining, didn't know any of that.

Are they hard to get hold of? think they look neater.

 

Excellent work Andy Not been on much recently, its good to see all this progress!
