Did a bit of welding today. Getting there slowly but still loads to do.

I phoned up wessex galvanising and spoke to someone about it. He said wether i make a jig or not putting metal in 450'c it will natrally move/distort a bit. He said you can never know how it will react but that they dip bulk heads and it should be fine. Still think it a brace wouldn't do any harm.

Went to metal super market and had some plate cut to the right width's then all i had to do was cut it to length. For the bump stops, Cut out the rot, cut the plate to size, welded in place then ground back weld. Had some 3mm plate cut to size for the backing plates for bump stops...

Wasnt sure where to start so got the grinder out and started cutting!!!

And the award for the worst bit of welding ive ever seen goes to............. It was hard to tell what was under all the paint. Didn't expect to find this.

A few pics of what is left of the chassie after shot blasting.

Also, Dropped the chassis and bulk head off to A1 Powder coating to be blasted today. Hoping to get it back tomorrow and then start the welding on the weekend. Ill post some pics when its back. Has any one here had there bulk head galvanized (dipped). The guy at A1 thinks that it will...

Thanks for finding that out. The previous owner filled the front swivel's with one shot grease. Is this a bit of a bodge to stop a leaking seal or is it normal? Also shall i remove the top cover and check how full they are? Thanks Rob

Did a bit more on the landy tonight. Started cutting out the passenger foot well. The rot went a lot higher than i though so will need to fabricate some sheet to repair what ive cut out. At least all the rot is out now so when they shot blast it on wednesday it will be ready to weld to. Ill...

If you crack the inlet pipe of the the fuel pump off and then pump fuel through using the lift pump or inline hand pump till it flows with out air bubbles, then tighten pipe again. Crack off all the injector pipes and turn the engine over with the throttle full open. You can tighten them up...

After looking at the manual i think mine is ment to just have two head lights in the centre grill. None in the wings. Can some one confirm this for me. Think the wings on it might be SR3 or butchered SR 2, I want to make mine totally original again. Does anyone have some SR2a wings that...

Im in two minds of what to do. I can buy a complete wiring loom ready made and adapted as mine has a alternator fitted now instead of a dynamo. Its £165 +vat from my local dealer and should be plug and play. Or im going to run a piece of five/seven core trailer lighting cable to the back then...

A few more.

Heres the pics of where i have got to now. Nearly got the chassie and bulk head stripped ready for shot blasting. When i un-wired it there was a bit of spagettie junction. I think every time somethig has stopped working a new wire has been run. Not sure wether to make a new harness my...

That was the only annoying thing. The bloke sold the reg plate so that isnt original anymore.

Yea as far as i know. Dont really know any thing about it. Didnt get any paper work with it. Any info any one knows about it would be good. Want to keep/ make it as original as poss when i put her back together. Found these from the web site when i brought her. Took the camera round...

Heres a few pics i found on my lappy before i started the rebuild.
