S1 Rebuild(s)

[Dave Adams]

some pics of the rebuild process,

the top trailing arm bracket is broke......

the diff is sloping back a little (looking up) so that will need sorting.......

As you can see there isn't a lot of bracing in an S1 chassis, that will be sorted.

What is the distance between bottom of the sump and the ground Dave?

[Dave Adams]

Ah....well there's the issue....I need to modify the sump pan...as it stands today it has about 3 1/2" a bit low.....getting a spare sump and pick up pipe this weekend.

[Dave Adams]

the wheels are 185/65 X 14 zero offset (ET 0) to the rear axle. and 185/65 X 14  ET 19 for the fronts. i have 2 or 3 spare rear wheels and only one spare front wheel....so not a complete set to sell......

Nice picture of the near side in profile......wipers doors and roof fitted. May need a 120° gear wheel for the lucks wiper motor....90° isn't sweeping enough screen. :-)

[Paul Sheridan]

Got them front wheels centered nicely Dave, well done....... difficult buggers those wheel arches are.

Looks good mate.

[Dave Adams]

Thanks Paul.....I am particularly pleased with the rear deck ...i spent ages getting it level. Along with the front spoiler it sits level both to the road and to the body.....the spoiler needed some 15-20mm lifting on the N/S. the rear boot section to get level to the road was lifted 20+mm on the O/S. the boot now sits level. the down side is the wheel arches are at a different height. but that is only apparent if you look one side then the next.

That looks really good - low and mean, Dave. The slant on the hardtop makes it look a bit like a hot-rod. It is a good look.

[Brian (up north) Morris]

i agree james it looks mean :-)

[Dave Adams]

Rear end.....needs a little work. As well as numberplate lights.

Here the front.....not perfect.....but OK.  

[James Doulton]

It looks good.

[Brian (up north) Morris]

shame we have to have number plates. it kind of ruins the look . looks good dave :-) i do like phaetons with the sides painted much better

Spent the day making the ducting for my radiator.....
