TIG Tuesday.....

Had a bit of a move around yesterday so that we can get back onto Dexters '63.

First task is to finalise the location of the Porsche IRS mounts... looks like we need to narrow the arms in order for it all to clear the automatic gearbox. Watch this space, unlike many people, we'll publish exactly how we do it....

Evil Ben Lewis has been rebuilding the front end of Martin's 55 vert. Previous damage meant that it was necessary to disassemble much of the structure in order to get it spot on before rebuilding it with as much original steel as possible.

Jef and Jay are busy working on Mike and Glenda's bay. Jef's fitting a new battery tray- the only panel required! While Jay has been steadily removing the underseal to check the condition of the underside, and to enable it to get a full gloss underside too!

In addition, when everyone's gone home and many are tucked up in bed, the Brasilia elves have been out TIG'in some new steel into the front end - With a good strong structure in the front end now, tonight the front will be reconnected to the body properly, check back for progress...
