Project Rotus #14 car

Work has been busy and too much happening during the holidays. But the last few days I've been sandblasting more and more parts which I then hand over to my friend who primer paints them. Making some slow progress.

It's been a long time since updating progress ..

 

I have new loops welded over the driveshaft. This makes for a stable platform for the ebrake ..

 

I have a new MGB Lucas windshield wiper motor .. and have figured out how to use the early '70s Toyota WSWiper switch to work with it.

 

Our shop has a new attachment for aluminum welding so we've touched up the aluminum rocker arms in the front suspension.

 

I modified the fuel union for the upside down fuel tank setup.

 

Next is to weld up a custom aluminum fuel tank.

 

Still thinking about disk brakes in the rear ..to replace the drums .. and maybe a LSD.

While I was at work .. my friend was busy replicating the original Rotus fuel tank in aluminum .. 13 gallons! Wow!

 

This evening I installed a new VDO fuel sender .. I had to angle it to fit inside the alum tank .. works great!
