New cross member welded in, ready for another blast before it's off to the galvanisers
Meanwhile my carburetor got stripped down the vaporblasted
Also lots of zinc plated parts to black, trying to keep it looking standard and not to flashy, so if it was black before I zinc plated it, its painted black afterwards too.
Now time for bending some curves into the bumper I got laser cut out, the will be getting hot dip galvsnised as well...
And i got myself a new toy too, fairly self explanatory title on the front of it...
Only 1.3l but it works very well for what I need it to do.
New spring shackles cnc plasma cut and drilled out for 9/16ths bolts
Some paint on the rims, I got a few tins colour matched to the original factory code
Some light fabrication to do....salisbury under a swb requires inboard spring mounts...thankfully the axle tube is good for mig welding and doesnt require any special sticks!
Chassis back from the galvanisers... just been cleaned down with isopropyl alcohol...
And after a few coats of 2 pack Unithane....
New Deestone 750.16 tires on the rims, on the new front axle, upgraded to a set of military 109/stage 1 axles.
Heres the salisbury casing gleaming after a coat of the unithane 2pack paint!
Tyres going on...yes I'm lazy and use the gantry crane for everything...
Looking better....hope to have a rolling chassis later in the week when I get some more parts back from the Zinc Platers...
Up to date now though I think...
