After 2 years, I have finally started to bolt bits back on...

Finally starting to clear parts form one garage to another. Must learn how to take gearbox apart and get some brake fluid to re build calipers. I should concentrate on one item at a time, but can't stop myself using the new parts that i have had for so long. Anyway here are some pics of my progress.

Someone is lending me an impact screwdriver to take drum off of hub, hoping this may help with taking old bearings off.

Crap weather, but still able to paint.

I had some more parts shotblast, much cheaper than last time... don't know why. now I can rebuild brake calipers, fuel tank, gearbox and diff. Finally able to work Sundays on car, Should start to see some progress.

Hurry up and get something done!

Starting to get more free time... Hoorah! I'm fed up painting the house. I need to finish spraying the chassis before the cold weather comes, meanwhile I have started to strip the gearbox and have more bits ready for shot-blasting. So, still just restoring Vitesse...

Rare Vintage Radiomatic A3P 1955 Valve push button car radio

It's taken a while a while to find the right styling and price... now, it isn't working but my next door neighbours brother restores Roberts Radios, so I am hoping he can work his magic on this. Maybe he can add an ipod connection! If not, I will just clean it.

Tyres on rims... but what combination?

Havn't got anything ready to bolt them too, but I will need these to complete rolling chassis. One thing i do still need is a leaf spring. Here are some pics of my new tyres 165 x 80 x 13".

Maybe I should spray the trim ring? Don't think the Hot rod style works...

Well i'm 6 months older... At last something new to report!

Too windy on the coast, so I have made a spraybooth that can stay in the garage. I continue to build up suspension parts, but need to get to the garage and finish spraying chassis, then all these bits can go on. I have enough money to create at least a rolling chassis... Anyway, here are some pics.

More parts have been ordered today...

Starting to put some parts together...

Adjustable tie rods are finished, have ordered some heatshrink to cover joint when set up, also wishbone/hub carrier are partially completed. Bearings to follow.

Just cleaning and looking over Christmas...

I really thought I was going to have lots of time to work on car over Christmas. The rainy days, I could only clean or look at bits, and when it was sunny we had things to do. I have started to look through boxes of parts so that I can start building up suspension components. If I can get a couple of coats on the chassis, there should be something starting to form down the garage.
