Dog Leg Panel Investigation
Posted on: Wednesday January 27, 2016
We have got around to taking a better look to the RH Dog log panel. When we checked the car over as we bought it, we did a see a couple of rust bubbles, and new what to expect. The rust we've found when stripping the car has been pretty insignificant, especially considering some of the things we've seen posted here. I've dug into the rust bubbles on the RH dogleg, then used little tin snips to open the hole up. The dirt & dust that came out once opened up was impressive. If that crud sat in...
RH Dog Leg Investigation.
Posted on: Thursday January 14, 2016
So things got started tonight. I've seen a couple of little perforations in the RH Dogleg, so have had a dig, poke & chop. the gap between the dogleg & sill was jammed with dry caked dust/rust/debris.

I've tried a few different methods, but probably 70% chipped of with a selection of old dull wood chisels. We did some with a heat gun & scraper, but found the sticky residue even harder to deal with. After weeks & weeks of chipping (!!) away, i would guess 90% of the underseal is off. Next is to figure how best to tackle the rusty spots...
Rubber Bumper Rear Bump Stop Mounts
Posted on: Tuesday October 6, 2015
If anyone is keen to lift the ride height of a chrome bumper B up to Rubber bumper height? Amongst other things, you would be needing to move the position of the rear bump stops by adding the chassis spacers. As luck would have it, i can offer you these spacers, as removed from our project. Warning, some minor assembly may be required, and contains small parts! Sorry, couldn't help having a giggle. So glad i've eventually got these little blighters out of the way, just some tidying up of...
