It’s the little things that take the longest to complete…Lots of
detail…Good stuff John.
I have learned to fight the urge to grab the hammer and walk away and come
back later.lol.Don’t know what you mean about not getting anywhere. I see a
ton of progress.
Thanks Matt.
Great progress John, you always have lots of little things on the go.
Thanks for the update. Enjoy the weather!
Thanks for stopping by Terry
Thanks Rich, glad you dropped in, I commented on your ride video – made me
miss my old Honda.
Tap epoxy. Go see Milo with that part. I bet he could get you fixed up
100%. Heat gun may help to shape it.
Thanks for the update. Those little jobs add up after a while. Car looks
great sitting there.
Thanks, I think it’s still sitting a tad high, but I am not worried about
it anymore, cause the front torsion bars cannot be tensioned until the
engine and gearbox are installed.
A little brewski action on your videos now? NOW we’re talking.. ha! A Jag,
workin’ in the shop, sunshine, a brew… priceless!
Thanks much Stu. Glad you were here.
looking awesome
Thanks – what’s your name I’d like to be able to address you with a more
preson handle than 100SpokeRiderz. 🙂
Ron, yes, I think that’s the next step, or a more substantial plastic epoxy
perhaps that will add strenght at these weak spots.
Yes, we’ve had lovely weather this June and July.
I am sorry you always have such terrible weather. Looks like you’re making
a lot of progress. I had to stop working on the tr3 restoration for the
summer to focus on other things but will get back soon because summer is
almost gone! Tip: remove hammer, buy rubber mallet, don’t use rubber
mallet. 🙂
Lookin Good.
YEP! Love a cold one after a long hot day in the shop.
Looking really good John. Adjusting those springs made the ride height look
awesome. Great job.
Thanks- I will check it out.
You got that right ziggy. I need to disassemble the driver’s instrument
panle now to recover it because the passesnger side is ruined and the new
coverings don’t mwatch the originals well enough to leave it. Argh! Two
steps forward and one step backwards.
I have some JB Plastic weld in a tube, so I may give that a go.
Good vid
Thanks I appreciate the encouragement. It feels like nothing is getting
done, but maybe I need to appreciate what I am getting done. How are you?
Hows the Bimmer?
Milo – what a great idea, we just said we wante dto get together. I used a
heat gun to straighten the edges a bit, but it needs more reshaping to
avoid being stressed and causing cracks again. The metal on the upper lip
of the gearbox tunnel is mangled pretty badly from something? I tried to
hammer and dolly it a little, but it needed more force to straighten out
than I was willing to aplly in the time I had to try it. Maybe I need to
use leverage and a pair of vice grips to bend that edge?
Good progress John. She’s coming along nicely
Car is well, sir. Its on its way to the US from Germany since i’ve
recently been reassigned to Colorado. I’ll make a vid of my new digs and
when I start work on the Mustang. Hope all is well in your world!
Thanks Gary, I can’t wait to see your final project too.
Good stuff and I agree with Gary; looks like progress to me! I can’t wait
to see the red seats in her. That will look very classy.
kool stuff…such a nice car! Thanks for the video!
Have you try Plastex plastic repair? I use it when i repair motorcycle
fairing.
Good video John, I wonder if plastic welding would help fix that console
