ha the old homebrew....
 
beer on tap is a great way to become popular...
 
my old set up...
 


 

Have torn myself away from the beer fridge (Hic) and have cleaned up the centre console.
 
I have got rid of the stereo and plan to put a couple of gauges in it's place.
 
I have mocked up a plate and plan to make it out of Carbon Fibre if I can con my cousin into doing it for me.

I had my cousin slot the holes in the calipers and they look great.
 
Roadworthy was knocked back due to a big rust hole in the engine bay under the heater bubble.  A dodgy repair was done with fibreglass and the mechainc attacked it with an F'n big srewdriver and mallet and ripped up half the firewall.  He really hooked in to the point I was about to give him one.
 
So new plans are to strip the shell, fix all the rust & have a crack at repainting it myself. 
 
Sounds easy in theory but we shall see.
 
Here are the calipers.
 



 

Yeah, I was really close to belting him one.  He even thought he was doing me a favour!

Had a crack at the hole in the firewall during the week and have found that it goes from the fusebox on one side all the way to the same position on the other side.
 
I am pretty sure that it will also be rusted badly under the heater plenum as well.  I'll try to get that off next weekend and see how bad it is.
 
I am in 2 minds as to whether to -
 
1.              fix it myself (although I have no idea on how to weld).  I wouldn't mind having a crack as I will learn a lot and there is satisfaction from doing something yourself.
 
2.              pay someone to do it.  Although then you don't know what sort of job they will do or how long it    will last.
 
3.              Just buy a new shell that I don't need to repair.  Then I can get a 2 door either MK I or MKII that will be pre 1976 so I won't have to comply to the newer ADR emissions laws. This will be hard to find and probably the most expensive option with no guarantees thhe new shell will be better than mine.
 
Decisions decisions.
