MM Project
Thought I'd put a few photos of the progress of my MM since this section of the site is a bit quiet - most pics and info is on the owners section, but I'll list these chronologically here for the non mm browser:
!985/6 ish - just prior to taking car to bits
Stage 3 MGB Engine
Interior - Rover seats, wood dash
About to remove complete floor etc:
Chassis with Ford 302
Body placed on chassis, and left in garage till 2005 - son now 22
Just about to leave garage - wings and front panel on my series 2 some time before this:
Wheels:
Dash
Blasted front panel
Loading
Loaded to go to mates for new chassis/bodywork
Arrived
On jig
Work started
Engine getting mocked up
Radiator - don't know if I'll use it or not - was lying about
Rear cut away
Sheet metalwork started on bulkhead
Trans tunnel
Brake assembly
Rear wheel tubs
Dash mounted
More metalwork replaced
Grille
Progress is good so far - all lower sill areas/A/B posts replaced as per original. Body will soon be getting prepped and removed from chassis. Chassis will then be fully finished off to a rolling stage, body will then be re united for final fitting of panels etc, then all dismantled and built up properly.
More updates as and when.

Some more photos - shell trial fitted on chassis, and then turned over on other side for more welding - not as heavy as it looks - easy lift for 4. Front suspension now being mocked up:

Still a long way to go. I'm building another garage at present to put it in for when I get it back, and then it will be totally dismantled then sprayed and detailed. Don't think it will be ready this year, as I've got my son's minor to spray, and my other V8 - but who knows.
Ian's work is really first class, and he's going to start a full build on his 1936 ford coupe when my minor's out his way.
If you get custom car, the fabrication/engineering and bodywork on the feature car (this month)- Mark's 1935 Ford was done by Ian.
Cheers

Build up photos are in the MM section web pages, but here are some more up to date ones. I have the chassis back home just now, it just needs disassembled for painting/detailing etc, but I'm working on my son's never ending project first.

Some pics showing general fabrication prior to final welding of chassis.
Final weld up of all suspension and rear axle location brackets
Rear Spring lower mount
Panhard Rod
Rolling out of Ian's Garage
Loading on to mate's trailer (note suspension working)
Dave and Ian
In to my Drive
Posing in the sun
In Garage
Shell back in Ian's garage for finish welding and then it's off to the media blaster. I'll get it back in primer, then will fit it to chassis, run wiring, brakes etc etc, then will come off again for final paint. I managed to get inner wing covers for headlights from Bryan Gostling (much thanks), but missed out on a pair of headlight rims on ebay recently, due to last second bidder - gutted.
