Ahh there's a hole in my chassis

This weekend we tried to do a lot but ended up with less progress
then we had hoped. At least we have officially started.
We have riveted the driver side floor panel on
and all the calipers have had their second coat of red hammerite.


The old man making a few adjustments

We are getting a quote for all the bolts that are needed
from a local guy Fastfix (local is lekker).
He also happens to do upholstery
so it looks like we have our seats sorted.

A visit to the Auto spares place only ended up yielding
a new pop riveter and brake kits for the front,
oh and some rubber bushes for the steering rack
but the front ball joints have managed to elude us.

Let’s hope things will rev up next week with the
pedal box and a whole lot of bolts.

With the beginning of the build came the first video recording.
The plan is to make an archive of all the stuff we assemble on the car
and then compile it at the end of the build to a 10min build video.
Should look good or maybe I’ll make episodes as we go along.
