Just thought I'd post a few pictures of the work thats been done so far.

Initial picture of the chassis/ floor pans.
Majority of pans were in great shape, but wanted to save as much of the original for correct pressings.
As you can see all work now completed on there, now being fitted up by Andy (the owner).

Pictures of body to follow.


The opening of pandora's box!!


Nice piece of 2mm armour plate for jacking point.




New 2mm bracing foot fabricated.


Repro pans section used but fit suprisingly well.










All welded and shot blasted.


After powder coating all imperfections rectified and etched and primed.


Refinished in 2pack black.


Just frightened to scratch it!!!!

Nice work! :d

And as if by magic a piece of floating chassis:wink:  Image016.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

More pictures, of the body this time.
























Rear quarter repair section cut off another 57' body to save this old girl. Sacreligious I know!!!!





Again, repair section cut off another 57' body.







New heater channel cut off an Australian car and sent over.

Some cracking progress there dude.

Maybe you've deleted the photos from photobucket so the links are broken?

Cheers Denz,

Yeh looks like the coding changed when I put the pics in an album.

Oh well, every days a school day!!!

Another saved oval!:beer:

That's some damned nice stuff going on, there. It makes such a lovely change to see proper welding and repair work being carried out, rather than the rubbish many people seem to be proud enough of to plaster all over the internet...

Got any more of those Aussie channels knocking about? I'm guessing not! 🙂

good vork..:wink:

What happened final. I am waitingfor happy finish:roll: :roll: :roll:

couldnt agree more! uve only got to check out volkszone to see how proud some of them are that they cant weld or fabricate properly

Hi

Cracking job you're doing there! keep up the good work.

I'm in the middle of restoring a'57 as well and was wondering if i could trouble you for a measurement?

It's on the outside of of the rear cross member......


the bit that sticks out on the very end, which forms the end of the wing mounting. I just need to know how far it sticks out?

Many thanks
Lee
