Random shots

I went to see the car and took some random shots. Looks superb and I can only wonder where Mika get's his energy from. Next thing is some cutting and welding of rear fenders. The arch is raised approximately 60mm and fenders need to be heavily modified to fit.

The door is only for mock up, I have rust free original doors waiting.

I will use original fenders from '52 if at all possible. According to Mika he can fix the "little" issues easily.

Moving on to the driver's side.

More bodywork

More pictures from Mika, he's sure not wasting time.

Quarter panels are from Virtanen. The quality is susperior to any other makes but that's the reason they exist I suppose. If I need any other repair panels I will buy them from him.

Bodywork

Mika sent me few pictures of the things he has done. Looks great so far!

 

 

 

 

Car is now ready for bodywork. I still have to find somekind of wheels to get it rolling. Next stop will be with someone who is able to fabricate all mounts to mount the body to the chassis and do some rust work also. Body is not all rotten but there's still lots of welding to be done.

Tire is 27.4" tall and wheen arch has been raised approx. 60mm. I think there's still need to raise it a bit more.

Progress finally

Finally there has been some progress with the frame. The body is on the frame for mock up purposes and as always there are a lot of things that has to be done differently.

This is the main problem. At ride height the rear frame will be 150mm from the ground and the trailing are arms already pointing upwards. Relatively easy fix though, just needs new mounting tabs to be welded 100mm higher. Pushrod will also need to be relocated.

Under the hood everything is fine.

Four links also need new tabs.

Front tires need to be 22", otherwise there's no room for upward movement. I will also need to raise rear fenders a little, I did not want to do that but looks like there's no alternative if I want to keep this stance with bigger than 26" tire.
