Ep30 - 1967 E-Type restoration - dash and harness removal

In this episode I finally get this car back to a bare shell by removing the dash, steering wheel and upper steering column, fuel and brake lines and the wiring harness.

You make it look so easy. Having everything at a good working height must be a bonus. Hope all your photos show you everything you need to see.Looking forward to seeing how you fill the sunroof aperture.Keep warm P.

Thanks Peter, editing it down makes it look easier than it is. As I’m sure you’re aware, sometimes you can get stuck on the smallest things! Psyching myself up for the roof infill! 😬

I have just looked again at your episode stripping the front suspension.I am about to replace the bushes on both suspension arms. It was very useful.My only problem is that the engine is in the way😂😂😢😢!!!!

[@fossewayclassiccarworkshop]

Glad it was useful 😊. Do you have a means to get under the car as it’s quite tricky around the torsion spring mount if you don’t 😬

Have just made the setting gauge to get the ride height correct once I have done the bushes🤞.All the best Pete.

@@fossewayclassiccarworkshop yes, I did the same thing, but without the jig so it was a lot harder.

I bet it was! 😳

@@fossewayclassiccarworkshop the more I got into mine, the worse it was, sills, floors, boot floors, all those panels on the rear bulkhead, only really the trans tunnel and roof were OK, I'd been doing 130 plus in it as well not long before(!)
