59' GRANTURA Mk1 restoration update

[cantus]

started to convert the dash from RHD to LHD . Using as much original parts to re-resin into dash as you can see.
Did that because of the difficult to make rounded edges.
Also widened the foot/pedal area.

Hi William,
Do you also make the footwell deeper so you will fit in it?
Your over 6"5 I think?

Hans

Hallo Hans, yes I did ! I forwarded the frontplate of the footwell with 1 inch.
I am 6'6". I also will take the bulkhead plate behind the driversseat 1 inch backwards.
I think I will fit in it after these modifications.

great to see all that work, how is it now with the car?
is it finished or...other things to do ;-)

Hallo Rene, well to be honest yes I do have a job in between. I bought a '69'Morris Minor Van last November in London City.




Not a big job. I converted the frontdrums to discs from a Marina and have to change the headlights. When the temperture rises in spring I will do the final glassfibrework for the Grantura and will bring it to the painter for the respray.

hallo Guys, I'm back. after a couple of years I found my Grantura back hidden in the back of the shed. Where was I ? right !! glassfibre work.I found someone who can finish this, planning now is bodywork, straight to the paintshop after that and then final stage at the trimmer for complete new upholstery.
