Transmission brake overhauled and installed.

21/04/2024

Brake master cylinder assembly is in. Had to do some grinding to get it all in the right position.
Should I paint the pedals green or keep them black?

20/04/2024

Last bit of spaghetti work before it goes back on the car.

25/12/2023

Wishing you all happy holidays from the garage! Thank you for following the project as we go in to the 4th yeah😮 lot's of work is waiting but it's already looking like a car again. Hoping for the first drive under it's own power before the summer😃

It took soem effort with a ratchet strap, but the bulkhead is in position. Already feels very solid with the steering box connected.
Lots of small bits still to do before the first drive.

02/09/2023

Engine and gearbox are in! It feels good to finally put stuff back together instead of taking it apart. Next: driveshafts, steering box, radiator assembly, fueltank and brakes. Hoping to make a test drive this year :)

20/08/2023

Today, after 3 years, it was time to get the chassis rolling again. Feels amazing!
Next steps: probably engine and gearbox, steering, fueltanks etc.

14/08/2023

Front axle in position, it's starting to look like a car again!

15/07/2023

After painting it looks definitely better!
Next step, leafsprings and axles.

11/06/2023

Testfitting the bulkhead on the chassis,.... it didn't fit.
Looks like I have to drill out the connection point and weld it back in the correct place this time.
Should have tested before painting, but it's an easy fix so not to worry to much!

03/06/2023

It's finished!
Next step: painting the chassis black.

21/05/2023

After lots of grinding, welding, measuring, grinding again and welding some more, it was finally time to put the primer on today! Most difficult part of the restoration so far, I have replaced: both footwells, both chassis mounting points, both vent flap areas, left and right A-pillars, patched many, many, many holes, bent pieces back to were the are supposed to be and put back the old stiffener plate around the pedal area. Which would be quite a lot easier if I didn't do that last....
All the rust is now gone and only metal has been painted with primer.
Some people might argue why I didn't buy a new one, but I'd rather repair something and learn from it instead of buying new parts. Let's hope it fits without to much hammering.
Next step: sealing all the overlaps with some kind of putty.
