Frumpy Gets Some Love by benjy_18

5 minute(s) of a 177 minute read

managed to skin the passenger door the other day (not finished as ill be moving it around slightly)

door gaps have got better with the skin on but the window frame is still really annoying me

also finished the O/S/R arch today, so ill clean that at the weekend and put some stone chip on there

im trying to get an hour or two on it every night after work to try and get it rolling in a few weeks.

it will be going on the floor at the weekend purely because ive forgotten how small they are so id like to have a chuckle and see how low its going to be riding aswell

thanks harri!

well got a fair amount done today, first off i got it onto the floor ontop of some lengths off wood so its sitting at a rough ride height (100mm)



most of today was spent cleaning the floors and bulkhead areas and priming them ready for seam sealer and paint throughout this week

should be more updates as the week continues

just some seam sealing done tonight, but its progress all the same!

hopefully get some stonechip on the inner wing in the next couples of evenings, although i did notice two tiny patches that i have to weld in so that will need doing first

some more cleaning and priming today, feels good to have some pieces almost finished!

some small pieces that got welded in, then cleaned and primed

bulkhead nearly finished! i may dress some of the welds on the bulkhead box though

well isnt the weather lovely! shame its too hot to be sat inside a tin can with a grinder

i did manage to remove the rear bulkhead this morning before it got too hot, never fear it will be going back in. its out purely so that i can clean the boot floor and wheel arches perfectly.



im hoping to get the whole rear end (interior) in primer by this evening which leaves me with just the front floors and bulkhead to do, then i can paint the interior and weld bits in.

well the plan to get the rear in primer didnt happen! much like a lot of the plans on this project but never mind.

i did however manage to get the drivers side rear arch area cleaned and primed.

its amazing how much bigger the interior feels without the rear bulkhead in place! i wish i could leave it out but the shell flex's far too much for my liking

also started prepping and priming the roll cage so that i dont have to do it when its welded in
