    Thanks Dez, week-ends like the last one can get you down a bit mate, but I'll keep plugging away.

    What a long week-end, still made a bit of hay in the dry shine.
    Worked on my side cheeks, got the shape sorted and decided to get a bit more use out of Jenny before she goes back to work.





    There she is lightly clamped in place





    Then I did the drivers side.






    Not much to show for a 4 day week-end but it’s heading in the right direction.

    That’s it for now, more when I do more.

    Cheers. Tim W.

    Hi Tim,

    Nice little details on there, looks great. Also like the way you've kept as much of the original pressing as possible for the bulkhead then 'blend in' the new panels.

    Great work. All progress is progress!

    Best regards,
    Nick.

    Thanks Mike, Nick. Yeah I'm pleased with the way it's going, got a mental picture of how it's going to look, just hope my skills are as good as my imagination and I wish it would go quicker.

    Hi Tim,

    Been lurking in the background. You're doing great work mate, keep it up. Makes me wish I'd had a bead roller handy when I did my firewall.

    Thanks Glyn, it was Allan (53pop) that got me started on it, surprising what you find at work when your poking about in cupboards mate.

    Been managing to get out in the dry spells lately, working on the firewall.
    First off I made the repair panel for the chopped out rotten bit in the inner wing



    Then I trimmed the firewall so it went between the cheeks, but if you look carefully the firewall come right up to the bead rolling.








    So I took an inch off the cheeks and re-shaped them





    Then I marked and cut the inner edge of the cheeks.




    Next time I’m out I’ll get the welder out and fillet the cuts in the firewall flange, add the Avdels for the tunnel and then it’s all ready to tack in place.

    That’s it for now, more when I do more.

    Cheers. Tim W.

    Great stuff Tim there are benefits to working outside at least you dont have to push the body out the garage when you want to work on the chassis and you have plenty space
    is that the factory inlet manifold?? what carb or carbs are you using??

    Thanks Gary, Yeah space isn't a problem mate but sometimes it not as dry as I'd like.
    They are Landi ones with a bit of "Cut n Shut" P38 rings a bell, sure someone on here will put us straight. Gonna use the SU's with a modified air intake, if I can afford a cam I may change the needles and springs in them.

    Managed to get my free time to tie up with the dry time over the week-end.
    Got the firewall all finished ready for welding in place.



    Then I added the Avdels for trans tunnel fixing.



    Was still a bit windy of them turning so I put a couple of tacks on them.




    Just need to get the welder round to the Pop and do the inner wing repair and then I can weld the firewall and cheeks in.

    More when I do more.

    Cheers. Tim W.

    Managed to get a bit of dry free time over the last two week-ends and here’s the result.
    Welded the patches on the inner wing.





    Then I tacked the side cheeks in place.





    And then the fire wall.









    I took the engine out so I could fully weld it all and whilst it was a bit lighter I rolled it back so I could sweep up a bit.







    Then I just managed to make the infill pieces before it rained, ready for my next dry day.





    Just need a few dry hours now!!!!

    That’s it for now, more when I do more.

    Cheers. Tim W.
