Mustang Tech

The project is a 75 Daimler coupe basically an XJC. Rust has bee cut out and replaced with repair sections although one area I will need to alter. The other is a pristine series 3, I just need to keep that polished. Cool. We found a guy in Bunbury who makes rubbers for all sorts of cars but particu...

Hey Nassi, what model Jag are you considering/working on? How good are your rust repairs skills?

Great looking car Kerry as usual. From my perspective, the added benefit with your work is that you think forward about how what you are doing now will work with -or not- with other parts of the build. EG the roll bar and roof lining and upholstery fit 5 steps down the track. Thinking like that at t...

Thanks Big Mc

Nice write-up.
On those roof panel joins, you used a stitch weld; is that right? If so, did you knock back the settings to prevent holes and warping or just increase the speed across the panel?
Cheers

Jacko Paraphrase of Progress (JPP): With metal on robot (like in the Audi creation facility-'factory' to you non-German purchasers), discard some metal; well most of it really. Thank the customer for bringing in a 'minor repair jobbie'; at least it was a fastback otherwise why would you- just sayin'...

have not seen that before. That is massive!

no worries, happy to help ;-)
Header panel is not an issue. I have not finished welding the panels in the floor/boot.

So it really does not take that long then ;-) To paraphrase where things are up to: -Get car towed by farmer -Have tractor use bucket to eat most of car -Stick what is left of car on a frame robot thingy -Remove rat's nest from talking boxes (I think he meant speakers but...) -Photograph progress Ch...

Crappy luck there Lee. I will take care of that injection for you- don;t mention it, least I could do.

now that panel looks cool, nice work and good to read things are getting sorted.

At least you know what the issue is now. That conrod looks like it has gotten very hot at one time (just under the gudgeon pin). Wonder if the pin has grabbed at some stage, off-setting the piston and causing the heat as it struggled.
