Winter project

[Matth93]

I have now started on my winter work in the car. The roll bar is off to be rechromed and I have now started to strip out the interior to redo it all as the leather covering is all coming off and tatty.

A bit more stripped out and the new gearbox mount is in but I’m not happy with one of the engine mounts so I think I’ll make a new one to square the engine up a bit in the hole

I wish I got going as quickly as you!

Where do you get the drive to do all this work Matt ? My car has been up in the air for 3 months now so I can rub down the chassis and treat it and I've done nothing ? always find an excuse for not going out in the garage crazy.

Nice work Matt,
Back together by Sunday for a run

Nice one Matt, puts me and my missing fuel tank to shame

Matt, I'm impressed with your determination in this weather, can't be too warm in the garage? Also pleased to see that a large hammer features in one of the pics, always handy for those difficult to remove parts

Good work Matt, but a spirit level on a kit car, really.

The engine looked like it was really leaning so I thought I’d try and get the chassis sitting level to give me a starting point. I have now made a new engine mount which makes it sit much better ( I did have some packing pieces in it previously so now I can do away with them)

OMG I haven't even started yet! I've planned and re-planned the radiator upgrade many times but have yet to get the spanners out... need to learn to stick weld first!
