solder_guy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 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. Rob
11Budlite Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Keep plugging away Rob!! Got any new pics of your progress? Bruce :7drive:
solder_guy Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 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. Rob
solder_guy Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 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! Rob
