i started with the mount that lives on the rear chassis. i call it the RUSTACHE.
i bought a 10mm steel rod and heated with the oxy acetelene and bent into shape. welded abit on the end to stop the rubber mount coming off. should av jus heated the tip up and hammerd it up.. durr.
i had made the other two but will prob do em agen to make the curved end abit better.
then i welded this dozzey to the chassis
got a facet low pressure fuel pump for the carbs deliverd in the week, guna run a carb lift pump from a cabby to this pump.
welded two bolts to the rear axle mount to mount the pump on.

small update here, finished the boot floor by fittin a home made sparewheel well as mine was of course well rotton. i was guna get one made for me but i was quoted like 200 quid so i thort id make it my self.
got a disc cut the size of the hole and a strip of metal to wrap around it.
i made a wheel well shaped template out of two pieces of chip bourd and sun bist o wood in the middle. ti then ratchet strapped the strip around it and tacked it all in place then i removed the wood.
i then bent down some tabs for it to sit on the boot panel with and to be welded.
i wanted to put the battery in the boot but didnt want it on show so i made a recess in the floor for a battery to sit in. was a pain gettin it right so the it fit in with the spare wheel. was very limited for space so if the battery is too small i gess i will ahave to have it out on show!
now that bits finished ive put it back on the jig so i can sort out the last bits underneath. been off the jig for a year!!!!

this is guna be my gear stick nob. its a beer tap handle my mate nabbed me from cyprus. already has a thread init but i think it will be too small so ill have to drill it an tap it out
got a new rear arch liner, this is the old against new. i made a new nouting bracket for it to bolt to in the inner arch as the old one looked too crusty for my liking. just need to drill holes for the screws.
that is all for now, would like to say there will be more progress soon but my welder has packed up so need to fix that first!
