That's good we've had the bad stuff go down in 6 months.

Fitted the wide band read for the emerald

Did some digging to get the boot poper to work with some help from one of the face book boys

Booked in for MOT the last on these out rigers I think

Nice,, keep the pics coming on this one as I need all the inspiration I can get

[phazed]

All fully painted now.

Progress shelved for a week due to an eye op.

[Classic Chim]

Think positive,, just think how fast you’ll be with two good eyes.
Goodluck

Wishing you all the best for the op Peter, keep the outrigger photos coming when you're back in action mate.

Ready player 1!

[Classic Chim]

All ready for the big chop off.
I’ve been wondering something.
How do you support the car on the ramp once the riggers are detached?
You might have told me but I’m still stumped by this one.

And I wear glasses, I just go soft in the head when I see this car.
Thanks that explains it, right I’m ready to get a cutting disc out,,

I might swallow my pride and help my mate go racing again, on the proviso I can use his ramp and garage for a year while I do a proper chassis job. It's like a dream I’ve had all along really.
Or leave it with a Peter for a few months as he cracks on like few others

My instant reaction was “wobbly?”, but Peter is no fool, so it must be stable up there.

Always expect the, ah expected!

2 hours work this morning and they are off.

Prepped a bit this afternoon. Hopefully my welder pal has time this week.........

TBC.

[phazed]

Ready to go.

[Classic Chim]

Proper rotten those old ones.
Did they fall away from the car easy enough once bolts removed, as they have virtually dissolved I’d imagine the answer is yes.

If you can keep tabs of the overall time this all takes I’d appreciate it so I can convince my mate I’ll only use up his garage space for an afternoon

[Discopotatoes]

Today’s efforts. A bit of a tidy up in anticipation of the ramps being installed

[phazed]

You have plenty of height in your garage Richard.

How's the car going?

[phazed]

Next step completed.

I spent 4 hours yesterday cutting back the old welds on the chassis with an 112mm angle grinder and a die cutter, oh joy.







Outriggers now bolted in position and waiting for the welder. Welder has broken his wrist by falling off his enduro bike......help!

[Discopotatoes]

Just under 11 ft. So should be able to get the ramp to full height with the car on.
The cars not too bad, i believe it's getting more blow by than I'd like at 1 bar. It's chucking oils out somewhere and depositing it's self on the garage floor when parked.
When I get the ramps I will find it and sort it.
