Fred's Happy

The Rebuild Continues. (section 3)

Interior and bulkhead Bulkhead rebuilt & painted
With the engine and transmission fitted, plus the rolling chassis all sorted, the interior is now beginning to take shape, we are using the later dash etc. from our own, Later series 2. It looks simply, but believe me, their is so much to do at this stage.

You can see all the hard work on the Bulk-head has paid off.
The transmiison tunnel also looks as though it came from the factory with a V8 and this transmission. The interior has taken lots of work but is looking good now.


painted panels Front end
Whilst all the other work has been going on, all the panels have been rebuilt or replaced, Here you can see just some of them back from the paint shop. "Cheers Martin" We have also painted and refixed all trimings etc.
The front end is also painted, and ready to drop onto the chassis, it was all test mounted "Dry Built" before this stage, so it all goes together easy as you will see. its a good color match to the original, with Just a bit more "sparklle"

From behind From the front
A view from behind. New lamps have been fitted, the bodywork inside is all taken care off, even the spare is looking good. Its all coming together good.!!!. And the front looks good too, the V8's all under there somewheer, and the final touches only are required to finish, Oh well just another 20 hours or so to go.

Lots more has been happening,(so I have been told) but I am away on Holiday so I cant comment too much but it looks like they are doing it all without me. ;-)) Ahh. And here's the signwriter, Its funny but we where at our wits end to find a true signwriter that could work to this "Oldy World" standard.

Skills like this are very rare in this millenium.
