Thread: Stage 1 V8 wgn

Not much to report lately as I've been waiting for parts to arrive but I did manage to get my rims (6)



Adam

I have not updated for a while but the chassis is now fully repaired and painted

rear chassis repair and body mount

rear crossmember

Also have started on doing the bulkhead


old

nice and rusty

All gone

Drivers side

Passenger side
Also the panel thats in the passenger photo is the centre panel I need to cut some more plates as I have found more rust in the bulkhead than I first thought

Also fixed the terrible cut job that I had done awhile ago


Also cleaned up the old fuel tank and cut a hole for the aftermarket fuel gauge


Hopefully by this weekend the bulkhead will be all finished


BTW does anyone know the tolerances of the body when setting up??

Adam

Looking really good Adam.

Well as the old saying goes measure twice cut once well I measured 4 bloody times and still stuffed it up oh well more custom work then

I will make an extra panel and get rid of all the thin steel once and for all will post pics tomorrow night

Adam

Can't wait to see photos of the finished bulkhead.

As my welding is that good my mate the gun will do all the welding on the weekend but I hope to tack it together before then so you guy's can have a look

Adam

Thanks for the photos, looking good. Fantastic footwells.

Ok finally got the setting up done for the bulkhead just need to trim out some more bits and get my mate to weld it up






I keep finding more rust but it will be all gone come sunday

I know its not original but I am intalling after market aircon and thats why the centre is like it is + the x marks are the bits I still need to cut out and fix but I did'nt want to wake the little fella up
