The rear plate holder had taken a bash, cracked in a couple of places and a few bits missing. Could probably have fixed it, but I’m learning enough new skills as it is without needing to learn fibreglass ! So I set about remaking it out of steel. Happy with the outcome, it’s SLIGHTLY bigger...

Don’t leave it too long I don’t think he’s making too many more

Frank schoenberger does them, sure he’ll be on here but post on any of the Facebook groups and he’ll message you. Got some from him recently

I’ve got an English wheel i can use to pre stretch if i bead roll, I have the make it kustom (YouTube) profiler so would make a profile off the vehicle using a block of filler and transfer it onto 5mm steel to put in the machine. For what Martin charges for door bottoms I’d probably be better...

Going to set about the doors soon, am I better to bead roll these profiles or make some dies and use a power hammer type tool?

Do you have an eBay username we could follow?

How much for the fuel tank?

Thanks. I’ve read through your thread a couple of times already haha

I ended up using AI to lower the photo resolution (-30%) small enough to add to the forum by the way. Used google Gemini app for reference

Haha wouldn’t say expert! Learning as I go, my ax is getting hand made steel wide arches as I couldn’t find anything I liked off the shelf. Metal shaping is quite simple, it’s just realising and working out what happens elsewhere when you tweak something. I’m probably 150+ hours of work into 1...

when I glue it together with a bit of cut n butt and tip the edge that should be about right. that's how we stand currently :) I'll get it on the drive shortly and try doing a bit more. Be good to get it running at least before too long. Was plannig to swap a vw 1.8t & 8hp gearbox into it, but...

ooh great idea thank you!

set about the engine cover, it's not too bad but some of the edges are shot so got on with that

engine turns over but doesn't start, have got some new fuel hose and I'll replace that and blow the tank outlet through as I think its blocked. Not currently got spark either so I'll check all the fuses, give the points etc a clean. HIF carb is in the garage, I'll modify the manifold to fit that...

set about the back door, knew it was completely rotten. got it all apart, unfortunately smashed the handle/lock getting it apart, the skin is ok. I've ordered some larch to rebuild with. Im aware I can get hold of the handle/lock from New Zealand, I might remake the recess out of steel though...

removed the temporary rear door. Came with a pair of spare doors and a front end to make good of what's currently there

arrived in November, it went under a caravan cover and left untouched until a few weeks ago. we set about having a look around inside and seeing what we could find. Came across a little blue book with loads of history and notes etc
