Some great work Sam - missed some of the latest stuff, just done a catch up and you're cracking along! I'm using the jigsaw too - I got fed up with the time it took me with the shears How's the front end looking now? The goodies arrived so you can start the meccano session yet? Good luck with the fibreglass front end -looks like a load of work just to get that looking right. - I'm sure you'll get there though! ;D |

ooh just thought
if you put the sheet of metal on a bench and use a level clamped to it you are sure to get a straight line as oposed to a wavey one freehand with a jigsaw

woooh [glow=red,2,300]UPDATE[/glow] having not really touched the car over winter months the second the clocks changed and the weather thawed a bit i was back down to the stable with some goals to achive..... get it off the stilts and get the engine running  did some of the trim in satin while i waited for bits to arrive  more satin....  random nackered box i didnt need  stress relief time  there was some method to my madness......i now had a clutch aligning tool ;D  which worked a treat  out with the drinder again   note the hideous wheel  boredom one evbning  a nice sunset to calm down after getting over frustrated with things  back to the matter in hand the garage floor was a blooming mess  so i swept it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  first goal achieved....yay   soo pleased to see it back on wheels after speaning 6 months or so on axel stands  stuck the car back in nose first so i could do the welding and paint on this side  now note the more period wheel    a bit of welding here and there........looking at other anglia projects ive been blessed with a rather solid shell  LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! but something was a miss........  so i re-built the standard head with a bit of porting before the valves went back in  then i bought what will be the final powerplant........ohhh yus  and spent a few days curse word around with that  after a few attempts down the motor factors explaining i needed mk3 fiesta pads but i hadnt a clue what year as they were actually for an anglia i got the right pads, so one side is readly to plumb up  so shoved the standard head back on.......just a handy hint brake pipe spanners are great fit for adjusting the tappets  all back together but it still wasnt having it, phoned a mate who talked through a few things..........school boy error HT leads on wrong!!! and after switching to the single chope carb she fired instantly!!!! WOOO flamage ;D   ive given up with the paintwork its doing my head in i just want the car complete and running i don't care what it looks like so shes back on wheels and the £5 engine works, ive still got a bit of welding, the some mounts for the clutch cable to sort, finish of the brakes, front panels back on and MOT ;D |
