Well it's been quite a while since I've posted anything here! As all the students are on holidays at the moment, work has been very quiet (I work in the Industrial Design modelling lab at RMIT university) so I've had a heap of time to make up some new bits and pieces and fiddle with others for my Mk1 project.

Chassis gusset plates. Most of you will have seen these already:

Lightened bonnet hinges:


Lightened boot hinges:


Lightened under-dash brace:


Lightened wiper mechanism:


4 Link Boxes:


And made up a new diff tunnel today:

Simon......Nice! Excellent work there.....
Impressed.
Having access to all the right equipment helps...............

Wish I had access to equipment that allowed me to do these sort of things.
They have come up a treat Simon. Very nice.

Thanks for that guys.

Yes, having access to the right gear definitely helps! Although none of it really helped me with those bloody boot hinges - they took forever to do as I wanted the slots to be curved, so it was a case of drilling 2 holes side by side and file finishing them by hand. Never again!

Unfortunately I didn't have any drawings for the diff tunnel either, so I had to make up my own templates for it. I just hope it fits...

Nice work Simon - they look even more impressive in the flesh (unlike yourself [:u])

Great work with the trans tunnel, looks better than a bought one! Keep up the good work and make hay............!

PS What's the little bakelite block on the steering column support for?

I can always tell when you're at work and have nothing better to do Paulie! [:x)]

I always have a good laugh when When Paul Dunstan and Simon Piper have a go at each other - very entertaining........keep it up!

Hey Mark, I'm glad 'YOU' enjoy it!? [:(!]






Just kidding, all in good fun....

Simon certainly has more patience than myself and it may have been easier (and cheaper for the tax payer ) if one was to just go without food for a week to shed the weight

Although this is coming from the polished Sierra manifold "king" [:I]

Mark, glad we entertain someone with our antics [:u]

As was said above - all in "the BEST possible taste"!

Once again - a FINE job!

What's next to go to Jenny Craig - I wait in anticipation [:0]

A haircut could shed a few kg's [(#)]
