Powder coated chassis


First time out of the garage

The powder coated chassis in gloss black. Now all that is required is to assemble the car and wire and plumb it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first time out of the garage and the first time I could get a good look at the car from all angles. It looks and sits just how I wanted it.
-------------------------------------------------------------



First time out of the garage with no panels
Gearbox sump gasket replacement.

This picture shows how all the panels can come off the car. Now I have to install the engine and the rest of the parts.


-------------------------------------------------------------

The gearbox was purchased second hand and the condition was unknown so I took the sump off to have a look. Everything looked OK but I still was not confident that it was good.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Build uo continues

Body prep for paint.

The engine in. The yellow is the intended body colour. The front springs are also too soft and will be replaced with some stronger items.( Note the angle of the front suspension arms. )
-------------------------------------------------------------

The body had to be prepared and painted on the chassis because it was too weak to support itself on its own. Robin is flatting the original paint.
-------------------------------------------------------------

More body prep.
Flatting the primer.

Robin borrowed a friends compressor and DA sander to buzz the body. His compressor is not big enough to run a DA sander.
------------------------------------------------------------

Robin flatting the first coat of primer. Note how small the garage is.

------------------------------------------------------------

Flatting 2nd coat of primer.

 

The original choice of body colour.

Robin flatting the second coat of primer.

The original choice of body colour.
