I think the brake return springs are supposed to go on the other side of the shoes so they pull the shoes towards the backplates.

fantastic work, the whole underside is virtually new!!!! yes swap the springs to the back of the shoes

.. I hopefully will put the engine in this week.
Yes most of the car is new under..

so how much is still original there? Looks like theres virtually nothing left of the car and its all new!!

Post by **Naadeslaus** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 8:48 pm

Not much!! But when it's full of rust there's nothing much else to do..

Naadeslaus, I just want to say how great I think your work is, I am 16 and currently working on my first minor project (Just doing a respray, I can't do all the mechanical bits!) But i really hope that some day I will be able to completely rebuild and restore a minor like you are doing. You're quite an inspiration!

You certainly don't hang around ;-}

Doing a good job, just wish I had the time and space to be able to crack on with my three moggs. I've got to get a move on as I'm going on the MOT next year!!

Keep up the hard work (and the nice photos!)

Wish I had the skill!

I'm not fussed about working outside or during weekends I just can't weld to save my life.
