Your last two videos are going to be very useful for me in the near future. Thanks for the covering the chassis disassembly.
G'day awesome progress mate
Great tutorial mate, looking forward to seeing the whole resto. Btw I live not too far from the factory in Hethel, where these were built.
Looking good. I think JonHimself did a video on the chassis and talked about the cover that was added to gear stick hole to try and compensate the rigidity that’s lost by them cutting a hole in there. I think he talked about it on the FB group too, but you can glue a plate over the top to help take some strain. The cracking is common (it’s on mine too).
I’ve never done powder coating, but I was looking at using an epoxy coating on mine - EM121, you can spray or brush it on. Either way enjoying the updates and good luck!
Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look at Jon's work to see what I'm up against. EM121...I'll take a look.
Bare bones now. The only way is up from here!
Exactly!
