There is a 'Sam Brown' belt stud fitted through the door top trim piece. The pull strap has 3 punch holes through it which allow the window to be:
- Closed - Halfway - Open The stud is just about visible in the above picture. Something like this: Sam Brown 5/16" Nickel Plate Button Stud Cheers Chris |
Hi Chris,
How is the paint holding up? Would you do it again? John |
Chris...would you mind sending me the Heuer clock face? I'd appreciate it. If so...you can send to 2syllableword@gmail.com. If not...no harm, no foul!

I haven't been on here in awhile but, bit by bit, things are still progressing: http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...P1070754-1.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...P1070756-1.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...P1070759-1.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...P1070762-1.jpg Chris |
Don't forget the starter ring, Don't forget the starter ring, Don't forget the starter ring.....
B*****ks, forgot the Throw-out Bearing... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps0deefe25.jpg Back off, and back on again...Thats better http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...psf7ca2b3d.jpg ...and, Y'know when you spend afew hours head scratching why an oil hose won't fit....well it is always worth checking if the connector piece was put on the right way round in the first place http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps8358d6b4.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps1e63960c.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps0a2fb100.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...psa200a7d0.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps24d24fa4.jpg The fibreglass tinware took abit of work and 'shaping' to get it all to fit. Still, that does now mean that the engine is finally ready to go in... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps2a0060b0.jpg Chris |

I don't know if I would do the process again, the process lended itself to this type of build.....If I take on another project, I think it will be a more 'conventional' rebuild. Chris |
Some more money saving...
Mirror picked up for 10 dollars !!! which was worth it alone for the 'old school' box graphic... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps1911d28c.jpg fitting plate is too small to fit, so cut a piece of plate and bolt it through... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps0003848b.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps7461fc72.jpg weld around, remove bolts and plug weld the hole... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps71f9b7f0.jpg dress the weld... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps43a48f4a.jpg and painted, ready to fit http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps175379d3.jpg Chris |
There is something missing...
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...pse00dafd6.jpg Car, it is finally time to meet your engine... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps34cd95f9.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps3a51b9c0.jpg Its taken a long time to get here, but the engine and gearbox went in in about half an hour... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...pseb20bf98.jpg and I am man enough to admit, I did shed a tear... Onwards...:) Chris |
