Ali welding needed? Great fun, once you get the hang of it, if you've got the gear to do it!

Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.
No gear here, i can tig as we had it in work, but the expense of gas and another machine i'll have it done for me !
Some more service parts arrived

Rose joints fitted with fresh boots. I remembered where Brizey said to get them. And the cage is out after cutting and using a connector on a brace. Hate welding in a trimmed car !

Went too turn car round... but the starter packed up. Managed too source another spare, changed it and heres the rusty roof !!

The dreaded roof joint,the bane of most Pop owners.
They look (or one of them certainly does) look like the better of the "all talk" starters.
Hitachi ? Even when one of those fail it's tempting to add an 'S' to the beginning.
Edit: just thought,it could be the original GM starter to that engine.

Original GM scruffy one and new Remy. Although it worked it's not as heavy duty as the original

I'm so glad I had mine media blasted inside & out. Mine is painted the same on the inside as it is on the outside so hopefully rust won't ever rear it's head in my lifetime.

Yeah bit of a slip up there with mine as it looked good at the time and cost was holding me back !

Neil Young said Rust Never Sleeps. Sorry about that, don't let that thought keep you awake at night. The Rocking in a free world might though!

Talking of Rocks ...the new starter turned up ..

On the left ..correct 11t 1.7Kv truck starter.. on the right 9t 1.3Kv car starter. It sounded good turning over ! And the crap paint/rust treatment/rust being cleaned off !

Well the ''progress'' has come too an abrupt stopthe drivers side which has no rust marks on the roof has major rust on the inside. The yellow marks indicates no steel and a few other bits too.
So a new plan on replacement will be formulated. There was some pics in the gallery where someone had cut it out and replaced it. Does anyone have them ?

Booger! No steel? Ie holes? What are the repair options? I suppose the question has to be how long does it have to last.
I'd have thought recreating gutter sections could be a challenge if that was to be required.

No point in looking or thinking about it. Might not be the best but at least it's bye bye rust !
