Project Cliff - The Cherry Red Thirty by stretch tech

4 minute(s) of a 220 minute read

hi all, now that the forum is back up and running, i can update from this week and last week end

Saturday was the big move day, so first we flatted down the roof and applied the last bits of filler and primer





then we swivelled him round and backed the flat bed next to the body







then we lifted him onto the back of the truck and strapped him down





it still made me chuckle, it's just the level of over kill this lorry is



then we drove back home and lifted him back into the garage and sat him on four recycling boxes...he's a bit heavier than last time so four of us had to lift him off the truck and into the garage







and this is what we have replaced



that's what we did at the week end, we didn't get to start re assembly as we had other plans but i will try and work on it when ever i get the chance now he's back home

right then, when i got home today, me and my dad started re assembling Cliff

first we ran the new fuel and brake lines under the car and fitted the brake bias valve...is this the right way round ?





then we fitted the pre assembled rear subframe and to our amazement, the bolts aligned perfectly first time





sorry for the poor quality iPhone pictures, camera memory is full

that's all for today

comments welcome as always

hi all, today i put a few more hours in

the handbrake is now installed and fully functioning

the brake lines are connected up

the fuel tank is in, although i'm not happy with how it is sitting at the minuet but it has got to come out for the respray

fuel line connected up

rear loom pinned into place

i haven't taken any pics as there isn't much to see really and my iphone's camera isn't the best quality

i'm not working on it tomorrow as i've got an important presentation day with a collage project but hopefully i'll get the wheels cleaned up ready

fuel tank in, any advice as to if this is fitted correctly as i am unsure ?



handbrake in



hi all, i managed to get an extra hour in tonight



rear wheels cleaned up and bolted on, and looking like brand new













also gave the tyres a coat of tyre black and i realised that there is still markings visible on the tread, that just goes to show how recently the wheels were fitted

new handbrake cable greased up

steering rack fitted



pedal box fitted



i finish early tomorrow so we should get a good few hours in, hopefully we might even get it running by Saturday afternoon / Sunday morning
