Thread: My 1955 86" Restoration Project

thanks easo,

yeah its been a 3 year long haul but i have much patience. i wasnt meant to go to this great deal of work until after i finished the chassi repairs i thought yep while everthing is apart ill give it a refresh! i also made a deal with the bloke i bought it from he asked me it would be nice to restore it. He had it for 40 years i cant wait till the day i bring it back to show him it will definitley put him in tears.

more pics soon................ to be continued..................................!

I think you'll bring a decent smile to his face. Might even try to buy it back!!

Easo

Propshafts cleaned up, quick paint, replaced rubber boot dust cover & grease the splines + uni joints.

this dates back to Feb 2006 day i pick it up, enjoy! Chris

HI just a thought it would be worth having the hose clamps 90 degress to each other to minimise any vibration on the propshafts by fitting the rubber boot over the slip joint.

yep 90 degrees clamps, done! that make sense never thought of that, thanks

more pics, Doors & Bonnett.

Nice panel work Chris! Top job!

Cheers Charlie

No! 180 degrees not 90. But maybe that is what you both meant?
