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.

For my steering wheel boss i used a Dutton wheel trim sticker.....
wiki on my phone says a 4 seat horse drawn vehicle......hmmmm.......
whatever, it still works as a sports vehicle drawn by horse(s) about a 100 in my case ;-)
I was led to believe that a phaeton was a breed of horse.....only having an interest in horses as steaks i wouldn't know and accepted the version given. ho-hum.

another coat of paint and this is the "Gun Finish" i got ....quite happy

and.......

My car should be ready for MOT by the end of this next weekend.......hopefully.

I am looking into the possibility of converting my garage at home into a part time spray booth. when I eventually get around to painting the leggy we will see how well it works.

It is my sierra S2. 1300 xflow. goes quite well and is fun to drive.
