I have managed to get a few jobs done over the weekend, including painting a few more parts. The main job completed however was to cut and fit some replacement sound deadening/insulation to the bulkhead. As the old pieces were completely perished I didn't have the benefit of being able to use them as templates so it was a rather uncomfortable afternoon upside down in footwells marking each piece.
Now that is done I can refit the wiper mechanism & heater matrix.
Work has started again on the rebuild (when there are gaps in the constant rain at least) and hopefully I will get a full weekend on it which should see some good progress. I really want this car back on the road for the summer national rally - god willing!!
Yes keep at it Jason: look at it this way, you're making more progress than me, although I have almost uncovered the car now and the garage is part cleared
Well I thought it was about time I put an update on here (I call it update rather than progress report)!
Not achieved as much as I had hoped due to various reasons, started a new job 6 months ago which has demanded a lot of time as has my new hobby of beekeeping. Obviously the biggest hold up has been the weather with virtually constant rain preventing me from doing the jobs I want to.
Anyway, I have been doing the odd job and will hopefully (and finally) have the paintwork finished very soon. The wing tips have been a challenge but I have been careful to take my time so the end result is what I want.
I hope to be able to bring more progress over the coming weeks (fingers crossed)!
I should point out that the rocker box in these pictures is only there to stop any muck getting into the rocker gear. The real one is waiting to be polished!
A few more items fitted. Servo back in place (after troublesome re-spray), new brake pipes looking good. Starter motor in place and fan trial fit to see how it looks (pretty good!).
Bringing BJU back to life - FINISHED :)
