Another Wreck, another Race Car.....

Picture of donor motor just 'cos.

What's the plan for the donk, stan?

What's the plan for the donk, stan?

Ask me at SEDF. I've got lots of ideas but it'll be a while before it even comes out of the Seat.

It will be rebuilt of course.

No worries, mate.

In any case my wiring skills are above average so I don't anticipate any issues. I've wired up much more complicated stuff.

So modest Pete! We know the truth.

Your plan sounds marvallous, will you have the car weighed when the time comes to see how all your efforts have paid off?

I've also got "Blaze Brake" fire retardant mastic for sealing the firewall where the roll cage passes through it.

Are you allowed to weld the firewall to the rollcage where it passes through? Just curious.

I don't think so. I never really checked.

In any case I can't modify this cage now or it loses it's CAMS certification.

[Umai Naa!!]

Short answer is no. Not exactly sure why, though.

Keep up the good work, Pete.

[Jarred]

havn't heard from Pete in a while??

Surely he must be finished by now?

[Peter Jones]

Still pottering away.

Nearly all of the metal repair is done. I have a friend coming over on the weekend to help me straighten out the boot floor and re-skin a door.

I keep finding more brackets to remove and clean up.

Hopefully not too far away from some mock fit ups and undercoating properly.

Still awaiting transport from the UK for the fibreglass bits. Should be under way soon.

Other parts are accumulating.

Work has been taking a lot of my time as I'm coordinating a big tender at the moment.

[Peter Jones]

Re skinned the Drivers door today. The one on it needed the bottom 4 inches replaced due to rust.

Process is straight forward, cut the old one off, weld on the new one.

[Peter Jones]

Got the rear floor straightened out and the strength back in it too. The seam welding can continue now.

[Dub Toffee]

this will be mental!! top job on the bodywork effort! Are you a panel beater Pete or just acquired the skills over the years?

[Peter Jones]

I have a good friend who is a contract panel beater, he specialises in resto work. Dennis helps me out when I'm out of my depth.

The welding is all mine though.

Yea, I'm sure it was that easy!

Didn't realise the floor was damaged? or was that just because you removed the wheel well?
