Good to see you getting to enjoy your own project.
I knew you were busy this week, phone straight to voice mail!
I may live in East London, I may have a number plate that reads "Chopt",
but I do NOT use 6" wheel spacers!Reply With Quote

re the phone, one of the spaniel puppies got hold of it, chewed one corner and the speaker that 'rings' is now very quiet.
that and the 3rd pair of my reading glasses he's destroyed the bu66er.
lucky i only use a cheap old style nokia with buttons really, i've got a new one (£35) on the way from ebay.

well, there's no going back now
the back axle, fuel tank and complete front suspension is out and on the floor. so it's not coming out until it's on it's new wheels, suspension, axles etc.
everything came undone with no snapped bolts which was a bonus. i reckon the tank will be reused, it just needs a dent popping out and 2 spiked holes welding where i guess the old fuel was 'drained' before shipping.
the steering box/column etc will be next then we'll start offering up the straight axle

i thought we'd have a 'look' at the damaged o/s rear 1/4 to see if it's saveable. eerrrrrr........... that'll be a big fat no then. the arch doesn't matter as they'll be radiused anyway but above that going forward and almost back to the rear light the metal's just too stretched. it didn't help when some c0ck thought it'd be a good idea to drill 20 million holes to try to pull the dent out. if the idiot had took the wheel off they'd have seen you can access the entire 1/4 panel from behind as there's no inner arch!
so..... plan 'b' is get the rear axle shortened to suit the wheels/tyres, then we'll know how far to radius the arches. then 'wheel' some repair sections and let them in as required. luckily the n/s is perfect so the new panels can be laid over that side to get the shape right.
so far the inside of the damaged 1/4 has had all the underseal removed. there's no easy way so it was blow torch, scraper and wire brush time, deep joy.
i better go and pick up the 8x4 sheet of zintec from my mate's place that he ordered in for me.

ps i'll edit with a pic or 2 once the camera's charged up, doh!Reply With Quote

first things first.... the camera battery seems to have died and won't charge
. to be fair the camera's about 20 years old and the last battery i bought was probably at least 10 years ago. looks like another one is due if they're even available, lol.
back to the car, the old axle, wheels and front suspension were moved over the road. then the car, exploder axle and wheels/tyres were all measured. the results are that with 2 of the short side halfshafts the wheels/tyres will be level with the arches so that's a result. i'll have a look on the summit racing website to price a couple up, the shipping seems to be a killer these days though so the long ones i have may still get narrowed.

however, it may be the charger or it's socket/lead as today the camera's charged???
so here's a couple of pics. to the top right of the 2nd you can see how thick the factory underseal was up in the 1/4 panel.
