Steve T Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Nice looking job Sean, I've got all that to do....at some point in the distant future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 A few White Rose members getting together to do a chassis swop over for one of our members (freind) he's really pee'd off his lovely TR6 failed its mot on a very surprising rotten chassis so its as many hands as possible to make a start,we're mainly sidescreen owners/repaires so it will be a lot of head scratching i imagine, lots of spanners jacks wood straps and a tractor to do the donkey work and a new box a tea bags are all at the ready. It's this club and the regional groups wonderful. This is what it's all about. Well done H (Red Rose) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well after a day and a half of back breaking welding,grinding and drilling the diff panel is finally in place,Steves panels are a credit to him. Dropped into place with ease perfect fit. Even managed to add a new body tag, and found out the hard way why you should wear welding gauntlets. PS keep up the good work Sean looking good.

SeanF Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Great job Mark. Looking very good. Nice pic of your LED light....I have the same one! My car doesn't have a body in white tag. Should I add one? Would I need to get a heritage certificate to get the original number? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Cheers Sean, Im a bit miffed I forgot to use the weld through primer but very pleased with the outcome. I have drowned all the joints with bondaprimer and plan to seamseal them soon. I not sure these numbers are listed on the heritage certificate, may be wrong but I thought these were added by the body builders. The light was a bonus today it doesn't affect my welding mask like a normal bulb Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 What no Z? Stuart. Don't know what I was thinking Stuart used it on all the other panels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve T Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Busy, busy, busy!! Put the new back end on the chassis and tack welded it all together. Then popped it off and spent half a day spot welding. Now have a new diff floor attached to boot floor & sides, rear inner valance, rear inner valance rienforcement panel, heel board, rear trans tunnel and 1 diff floor mounting bracket.

Steve T Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Will get some pics up soon. Was going dark! Good job you don't need too much light to spot weld ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Removed bad upper ball joints. Couldn't fit new ones as next day delivery did not arrive next day. Grrrrr! Refitted gauges and tidied up some of the engine bay. Hopefully MOT next week. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Fired up the 6 for the first time since Lincoln. Pleasantly surprised the clutch plate had not welded itself to the flywheel. Adjusted the points and reset static spark to 16BTDC...and it ticked over fine at 700rpm. On old fuel. Nothing like a blower for delivering smoooothe combustion.

Steve T Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Diff bump spot welded in ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Last weekend.. Got the Supercharger working so that the car was driveable.... and then drove the car (first time for 18 months)... Nice to have it back! This weekend.. Lots of bitty jobs, fix the alternator, fit trim and door cards, fix the speedo cable, headlight trim and paint the inside of the grill black. Getting there!

Peter Cobbold Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 MoT today for the 6. No brake lights....aaagh. Connected the wires together - OK, so not wiring in loom, must be the switch. Thumped it with spanner. It works. Passed. But it will fail again, so ordered a German one off ebay, as it has a nice metal casing and two brass nuts. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve T Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Measured up and welded in the deck support brackets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark69 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well done Peter, looks like spanners work just as well as hammers. Glad to see the jigsaw coming together nicely Steve. Let's hope third time lucky, it was hard enough getting the box in with out the body on . My turn today, not sure what I'm doing but it will be something. Well done Guys.
