Many more pictures to follow of the front coming together! will be uploaded shortly.
WOW. Now thats what I call a rebuild. Looks like you are taking no short-cuts. Look forward to seeing the progress.. 8)
Good luck on your rebuild. Will be good to see it progress. :)
Nice work. Looking forward to watching progress.
Nice to see attention to fetal. Great work.
Thanks for takin the time to check out the build so far guys... Started putting the front together today, more pictures will follow shortly! ;D
Keep up the good work. ;D
8)
Looking good :D
Great job, always good to see a build in progress, is that a Magenta body?
Hi guys! Its been over a year i know but there is also a years worth of progress to upload!
Quick reply to quarrycars.. The body is a magic, from scorhill motors. Ive managed to source some original build paperwork so lots of information to follow if it may be of intrest to anyone.
So the car is now running and ive moved onto bodywork, but before i start uploading pictures, are my previous ones clear? And is there a quicker way to upload? Ive not got the hang of this yet.
All replies and help will always be appreciated, im no expert so if any of you guys see anything im photos that catch your eye which youd maybe do another way please shout! :)
Thanks in advance

Hi, to be honest, it looks as though you resized your older pics to make them larger? In doing so the resolution drops making them unclear.
Best bet is to not resize but use a better camera.
Best way to upload is do what you did before but highlight
all the pics you want to upload and upload them all at the same time.
Hope that makes sense and thanks for the updates.
Im back! with 2 years progress and with the end in sight.
So the magic is now running with all chassis work and running gear 99% complete, ive been working on the body this year and its almost ready to be put on the chassis.
I need to re-organize some photos before uploading, but they will follow shortly in order of the build
Cooool! I've never heard of that kit b4 so can't wait to see it.
Congrats on getting so far with it, I have to admire anyone who has the tenacity to complete their own build (or re-build), well done that man!!! 8) 8)
I will loo forward to seeing the pictures. 8)
This may take a while! il aim to get all progress uploaded this weekend :) so as it was left on the forum, 2 years ago now i believe.. the rear axle was re-fitted and id started stripping the front subframe.
I shall upload from there on, its taken me hours to re accumulate all the photos from various phones!
Front end strip and recon

At last the engine was finished, this must of been 18 months possibly 2 years ago now. I soon found i had problems fitting it, completely forgetting it had some nasty spacer blocks on the previous engine so i made some new ones

By this point i was starting to get somewhere with it at least on its wheels again, but still so much to do and no real plan. So i decided to get it running and go from there. After this i found a type 9 box and realised id then have to have a shorter prop made..

A thorough check with new seals and gaskets
The car has come a long way since this, mostly this summer with the convenience of a new job. So much more free time! im now onto the more exciting bits, so much more to upload, back as soon as i can! :D
Nice to see how well you are coming on with it. I will look forward to seeing the rest of it. :)
I enjoyed your thread - will be great to see it on the road. Some real attention to detail. Will be a credit to you.
I particularly liked the image of the block in the oven ;D
Great work there and an interesting thread.

I liked that picture too. I'm lucky enough I can use a big walk in oven at work.
Thanks gents! Haha yea the block in the oven was a bit of a squeeze! Little bit awkward trying to do it without the mother seeing!
well I've now made the dash, finished building the body and it's now had its clearcoat.
Next I need to sort a windscreen/visors, can anybody advise me on the requirements for wipers to windscreen size?
Nice thread Scorhill,
Was that a 4 pot roast you did there?
Ian
Looks great! I wish I could do this with my Fury, strip it right down and rebuild it from the floor up the way I'd like it, sadly I just don't have the space to do it (tiny garage). It must be very rewarding knowing you did it all yourself?? 8) 8)
Do you have any pics of the dash and maybe a few pointers on building one? I have to have a bash at mine over the winter this year.

I know that feeling! this cars been backwards and forwards to various different garages for various different jobs. i recently had to move it again to complete some welding, no use of electricity where its most recent home is which was a pain, but all complete and back again. I started the strip down in a standard size garage which wasnt a problem for me because the majority of the bulky stuff taken off went straight in the bin! but space did become a problem when it was back on four wheels. As you say though its been very rewarding and job satisfaction gets more and more, certainly this year!
You should most certainly go for it if you think youl have an improvement at the end, far more enjoyment when its exactly how you like it. Dont worry about the space, ive found its amazing the places around the house and garden you can store things for years on end! the bonnet of this thing is still a garden feature now! ha
dash photos uploaded next :)
Wicked, thanks!
Ok this was the most dreaded job for me as i had no idea where to start, the original fibreglass dash had been chopped out and replaced with a nasty piece of flimsy chipboard coated in leatherette. On removal i found it was spaced out with WHEELNUTS!! im all for imporvising but....... ??? this was years ago and ive been putting the job off since as you can see the body is mostly built and primed here, really it would of been better to mock the dash up before prepping the body. Endless hours went into bodywork, photos will soon follow
I decided id attempt it in 1.6mm aluminium, very carefully as i didnt want the expense of another sheet. I used large lengths of angle iron and clamps to make each bend, this proved to be a bit tricky as direction of bends, especially the center console part was difficult to clamp flat onto the workmate. You can probably see where im coming from

I had enough of wet sanding so decided to get the bonnet blasted with aluminium oxide, i think i may have made a big mistake as it damaged the gelcoat, may need some advice on this ::)

I do like that colour. 8) Yellow would have been good too as you don't see many kit cars in yellow. :P
That colour does look nice I agree with Colin. Did you do all the bodywork preparation yourself??!!
Do you fancy doing mine??? hahaha! No seriously, do you?? :o :D :D
I fancy yellow, with a big picture of a bee-eater on the back!! Or is that a wasp on your car Colin??? ;D :P :P :P
Ha thanks guys, It wasn't the easiest choice! My initial thought was something bright as I wanted to be a bit more visible by other road users, but I felt it needed to keep its classic look. So the final decision fell on this! I like it more everyday but even more this weekend I hope when I flat and cut the laquer, i just hope I don't regret sanding it back! Never attempted this before

I would not have said it was done with aerosols so fair play that does look good.

A bit??? I think you mean a LOT Colin!!!!! If I ever manage to get even close to hanging on to the back of your yellow peril I will be a hapy man!
Great colour and a great finish to the paint. Anna's Bulldog was nearly as good as that till she drove it ???

Well done. Making good progress. Keep it up :)
