Spacers |
Front off old shell |
Suspension off |
Engine and frame off |
Fully stripped |
Front onto new shell, doesn't seem
to fit as well, needs checking out? |
Wiring loom laid out into respective
positions |
Its not a million miles off being in the right
place(s) |
Switchgear mounted. Its tidier than it looks
in picture. |
Time to start the fitting of the
Curley Dash. First stage is trimming the ends around the cage and cutting
clearance for the column supports |
Almost fitting, the column support
area still needs more trimming out yet. |
Offering up the central console,
good fit right from the off - NOT! |
Nearly there! TOP TIP Cover
everything with tape to avoid scratches and make marking up easier. |
Looking useful now, got the warning
light module to fit underneath the speedo and switches with tell tales (ie more
led's) for the hazards, fog and lights. |
Got all the switches and lights
in. |
Wiring in the back will be
interesting... |
Main loom passing through
bulkhead |
Washer and Wiper wiring |
Still more untangling sorting to
do |
Loom to lights etc as before |
8 way fuse box |
Made a bracket and mounted the brake
and clutch reservoirs. |
Cut and shut the exhaust |
Now not as low as before and fits
much better :) |
Looked at instrument wiring, easy
really, power and earth all come from the right, sensors are all independant,
fuse.switches.relays need re-doing, lost track of what does what!!! |
Holes drilled for wiring to pass
through. |
Modded Loom..It all works!!! 1. Lighting relay/Dim Dip
resistor, hazard and indicator flashers. 2. Main loom from starter solenoid
and to front lights 3. Warning light wires, indicators, oil pressure
etc 4. Hazard/Lighting/Fog switches 5. Brake light connections, will need
altering 6. Yellow wire to fuel pump. Also you can see the starter button
loom (big red bit and black convoluted tubing) as well as the ecu and coil loom
(black tubing at bottom) |
As well as doing the car i was
thinking ahead and came across this trailer for sale. |
Short ramps!! |
|
|
|
Its had a bit of work, new ramps made, front wheels moved
forward (was nose heavy), tie-down points added etc etc |
This included making it legal with proper lights etc |
Another job complete, chopped my play mini side
exit exhaust to create a centre exit and fabricated this adjustable centre
hangeron the rear beam. |
Tipped the shell on its side and started to
clean all the old paint etc off the underside. |
Due to the large amounts of fabrication done to
the shell the floor is heavily distorted, nowt i can do about that! |
Got it back to bare metal, treated and primered,
bit of filler in some places too. |
All painted in proper colour (first
use for my spraygun!!), then brush waxoiled, and put right way up on trestles,
bloody hard work on your own! |
Fitted the frame and gearbox / shift linkage to check
alignment of existing hole (too high and wrong place for quickshift) |
Started removing interior bits and
pieces prior to paint prep. |
Completed bulkhead box, welded in and treated any rust
etc. |
Painted up front subframe and fitted
hubs and suspension. |
Second hand scuttle panel lip welded
in place |
Smoothed off and some paint on |
Interior with first few coats of paint, lots of
tricky to get bits though! |
More coats added, filling in the gaps |
Starting to look better now |
Lots of cage to try and get coverage on |
Lots of paint later.... |
Few mods and more paint to front. |
