Glad to hear the daily brum passed
I was actually surprised when my MOT'er never picked up on anything with mine

Now get in that workshop

[andywaller]

yeah the guy said as far as the mot goes he couldnt fault it!

well like i say as soon as it build the workshop i can get on with it, im sorting a few bits out metal work wise so i can crack on and finsh the metal work on the shell as soon as possible.

this evening i have, albeit with a little help turned up the ends of my rose jointed brace bars, so i can get these welded onto the tubes and also i will get my steering boss done as the same time.

on the shed front i have started lifting the old bricks up, it takes ages to do as i have to pull them all up put them in a wheelbarrow move them a couple of meters and then neatly stack them, i rekon i got about 2 meters sqaure done tonight.

to give you an idea of the area i have to play with, here is a quick picture

[andywaller]

got all the bits welded up today the brace bars are going to look mint!

off to take up some more bricks now.

Wish i was allowed a workshop!! All ive got is a garage that has to go back to being a garage once the cars are finished (will have to see how long I can make that last ) But i doubt i can get any machinery/more tools in though.

[andywaller]

yeah it couldnt have come sooner, i really dont like the idea of the car on the drive and having to fit any expensive parts.

the down side is once the car is finished my dads wants it for all his woodwork tools and stuff.

so when the cars finished i will be turning into a builder again to lay my own driveway down the side of the house

I've got enough room in my garage. A four poster ramp and two 2 posters Then theres the unit where I keep my van....

I'll get my coat.

[andywaller]

I'll get my coat.

you best had


i got my rose jointed bottom arms in the post this moring (cheers again dan), i have now finished buying parts for the front subframe.

[andywaller]

just had my turbo baulkhead box delivered aswell. sweet!

Turbo bulkhead thought you make a nice custom one up, so you can sit engines further back, or fit "bigger" engines

na id rather not mess about with engine positioning the turbo box means theres more room for the exhaust to keep cool, and there is room for a turbo to be added in the future if i want to.

the upper miglia style baulkhead box will give me more room for things.

oh i didnt know you could get a 'bigger' a series, because thats how this car will always be powered!

[andywaller]

well it feels good to get on with the project again, i know why im building the workshop now, its just rubbish dragging all my tools onto the drive!

any way i have been getting on with the turbo box i bought it from the guy that sells them off ebay.

the tpyr in the link is the flat bottom style i went for one with a slant, but anyway if you need one he is the guy to buy from they are seem welded to add strength and are really good quality

ebay link for box

here are a few pictures
