Hell, Ade. Mine is a walk in the park compared with what you have signed up for. Hope you have plenty of welding wire. Dave. :proj: |
| AdeV:
Hi David - It looks like a shedload of work (and, well, it is....), but I have the advantage in some respects. e.g. none of the original interior is going back in. Also, with the removal of all the old electrics, a much simplified loom will be required; and hopefully the engine bay will also be a lot less crowded, lacking all the old Jaguar plumbing. I might even have room for a dry sump! |

good god I thought i had taken on a big mission repairing a campervan but it was no where near as bad as that I probably would have shifted the problem elsewhere if it had been. good luck to you. |
| Brass_Machine:
Glad to see this hasn't died and you are still at it Ade! |
| AdeV:
Thanks all! Yeah, this shell is probably little better than scrap - and the more underseal and/or paint and/or gobbo (filler, bondo, various other names few of them polite) I remove, the scarier the story gets. Still, it's not all bad. Today, I actually welded something back onto it! Unfortunately, I only have the "before" photo on my phone (careless!), I will take an "after" photo in a day or so and post them both up at the same time. I've owned the car a little over a year now. I always reckoned it'd take 3 years to rebuild, but that was without a major (aborted) move in the middle of proceedings... So, full steam ahead now... I want the shell ready for caging by Christmas at the latest! |
