Hi Folks,
I have just taken ownership of my Dreg 110 (currently utility but to be CSW soon!).
I was hoping if people could give me a list of does and donts etc for a rebuild.
Car currently:
2x salisbury axles,
300tdi
gearbox ...unknown but not that slick to say the least)
Full galv chassis
doors all good, Utility rear.
Interior pretty bare/got dodgy seats in it - dash is good though.
sunroof (i would like to keep but know they are a pain!)
The Plan as i see it at the moment:
1.Strip all panels, blast and galv ALL steel work, and send all off in bits to get repainted (prob met grey - is it bonetti?)
2. Have a tinker with any mechanics that need it.
3. Look at gearbox /clutch.
Rebuild and Add following:
4. swing carrier - thinking paddock spares one
5. Side runners - are the brit part cheapos ok?
6. Boost alloys and Bf goodrich - what issues here?
7. small amount of checker - already got just needs cleaning..?
8. Snorkel - best one and place to buy?
9. Rear step (NAS what ever that means) - best place to buy?
10. and swanky roof rack at a later date
So I would appreciate any help/ comments on things to do during the rebuild i.e.
11. Door hinges - galv ?
12. galvenising things,
13. cheap interiors, seats, carpets...
14. is it really worth putting discs on back, and vent on front?
15. gearbox / clutch jobs.
16. using SS bolts or not (i thought they would reactive with ali),
17. drill all poprivets and re rivet after painting or not?
18. Cheapest/best place for parts and accessories?
19. top OS wing is sagging - can i sort out or replace?
20. OSF door is sticking out a bit at bottom...how to fix other than kick!
21. Wierdly there is a gap on NS wing by the bulkhead but not on OS any ideas why?
Appologies a long post but it could be longer!!
cheers
