Bob's '62 Convertible - Full Restoration

[alfabob]

I must be fair all the hard work and dedication to detail is all down to young Rich Legg , I am a mechanic and am looking forward to doing all the mech bits , I already have a large stash of parts ie complete brake system in stock, so when it comes to bodywork / welding etc i no nothing

thanks Bob , I think I have a couple of those from a seatbelt kit I used before.

Here is the underside of the floor & floor edge, tacked...



now welded together... (not welded into the car yet)



Couple of dents in the new b-post to remove



Removed,





　

　

　

Now the B-post strengthener.

This is what it looked like previously, with a patch removed from the bottom.



New piece now made... Still needs a little feting before it's welded in, but you get the idea.

my pics from my moggie rebuild by Richy Legg, things coming on very nicely



Spent the last couple of days doing the final prep for the 2 floor sections to go in, they're now in.
Welding the inside join for the outer floor edge.


Rear floor section in

Front floor drilled for spot welds to chassis leg

Anti rust paint for the section inside the leg - where you can't get good access once welded in.

Then weld through paint for the spot weld joins

Now in place

I have made the right choice in using Richy legg for the restoration, it's coming along very nicely and I can not wait to get it back for the fun of putting all the mech parts back and of course its first time back on the road for 5 years or so

Thanks for the kind words Bob
