Mine ended up a bit straigther than that, may have to turn it slightly. http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc451/BradsTiger/06012012887.jpg Taught myself how to lead load this morning, NS rear wing had a few splits, holes & bumps near the light. Brazed up the holes. http://i1212.photobucket.com/alb...

Good spot.
As my tank is handy, would you like a couple of pics of the tube?

Yes please

Looks like a lovely job you are doing. How do you work with the rust remover ? Just applying and waiting/cleaning ? Basically although i stipple it in. It needs a lot of time as the gel easily dries out, the trick is to keep it damp with a spray bottle & clean it off completely after each coat othe...

Can i ask who the 'specalist' is?

Well i've been staying out of this one as it seems to be the old hands having a dispute, but what the hell.

Has anyone got:

1. Chrome side strips

6. False floors
7. S/S exhaust
8. Carpet set.
9. Electric fuel pump.
10. Radiator shroud

plus all the other rubber bits that melt in a fire.

Expansion tank back together, pipe brazed in with the last of the oxy, the main body soldered up.

At last

Many thanks
Brad

cheers

Hope i'm not talking to myself on here, i need a bit of advise. The solder in the header tank melted in the fire, seems repairable now its circular again, but the return to the rad pipe seems too short, i'm sure that should reach to the bottom of the tank. http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc451/B...

More luck than judgement as i bought the car unseen.

Vents & screen cleaned up.

Bit of a finger trap



Beginning to think the floor pan is made out of English Red steel, it's proving difficult to get back to bare metal.
