Yet another 67 !

[RobtheManx]

Holy cow there's gonna be a lot of build threads , well done Russel !

Here is my 67 , purchased from BRM Mark on here . Mark imported the car from CA a few years back . It needed 3 very small areas of welding which are now done . 

The car is to be built on a major budget , a friend will be doing the paintwork , and i will be making most of the bolt on panels will be made by myself in fibreglass .

Wheels will be 15x7 douglas spun ali rims on the rear , 13x5 spun ali rims on the front .

Colour , maybe the same as Dean Kirstens old 67 , not sure yet .

And for the important part , the motor and trans will be the 2180 roller crank and close ratio items from my old race car , Ned Bug . running IDA's and a Mag .

Thanks , Rob

sounds like a group build 
hope to see more pics soon

[smurf67]

Sounds like this is going to be a nice car and not to dissimilar to how I want mine colour wise

Thats the only part I wanted to hear......

very cool!  Love me some SPG roller cranks!

[RobtheManx]

Its not that I haven't been working on the 67 , it just takes me so long to upload the generally awful photos I take as I go along .

Body is off the pan , the pan and heater channels are super solid , I'm even gonna re-use the original floorpan gasket !

Finally made a bonnet for myself , just got to make some rear fenders and engine lid .  Current job is stripping off 2 layers of yellow and one Java green .

[RobtheManx]

Picked up a Talbot Berlin for 50 euros .

[RobtheManx]

Got all the tar stripped off the pan , not even the battery tray is rusted out !

Had a visit from Richie , with a gearbox cradle and mid mount I got to weld in , then I can paint the pan .

Body should be going off for paint this week .

Cheers , Rob

I am still in shock that Rob actually paid 50 euros for the mirror   

[RobtheManx]

Fuck You !

Hi Rob,

Glad this car went to a good  home. I never had the time to finish the car, so glad another car is getting back.

Regards

Mark

pics are always nice,  the 67 was replaced by early ghias after a year

[RobtheManx]

A finished Ghia , or one you are buiding ?

[Lee.C]

Fuck You !

Jesus dude it was just a joke!

So you decided on a colour then, can I ask what shade of red your going for?

if you need any LHD bits just let me know

[RobtheManx]

Yeah I was joking too , couldn't you tell ?

I need a 68 only speedo ( early looking but with a fuel guage ) . Also could do with a LHD speaker grille , the larger one to the left of the speedo . You still got those wooden ones ?  I badly need some seat runners too .

Cheers , Rob

[Lee.C]

yeah yeah its all fun and games....

Anyway I think I have a 68 only speedo and I do still have those wooden panels

[Lee.C]

Here is all the dash panels I have....

[jick]

I'm sure Rob wont mind.... Progress is underway at my bodyshop...,


The Aston Martin can wait...., we get straight onto the interesting stuff here!




It's one hell of a solid car!.....

[jick]

Last one for tonight...

[RobtheManx]

Thanks James , looks like Richard is enjoying himself !  Can't wait , and its nice to have real time updates on the progress !

Cheers , Rob

[jick]

Thanks Rob....He's really into it.....hopefully there will be more to show you by the weekend...... Watch this space !

[RobtheManx]

Sweet !

[Lee.C]

Cool progress....

You can have that speedo for this project and any of the dash panel but I think I will keep the wood ones for my bug.... Sorry

So what is the final colour?? Jaguar??

Looks like that 67 is in good hands.
Nothing better than a clean front quarter panel with only genuine spot welds on show.
You should make it perfect by having it painted in L282 Lotus White 

Nice workshop Jick. Good luck with the new business and I'm sure with the quality offered it'll work itself on recommendations alone.

This one is standing in LA waiting to get shipped. 58 lowlight from Arizona

[jick]

Thank-you Frank!

Some more progress...,







It's been a busy week!     17 cars in and out this week for various door/ bumper / wing repairs & repaints etc as well as a full repaint
On this old Range Rover...



Still needs a flat & polish but it's looking good so far......

[jick]

Haha.... Sorry about the Range Rover...
I forgot that I wasn't posting in my "Custom Motor Bodies" thread!
