Glad you've jacked it off the back axle! I'll sleep better now.

Whats the other side like?

I dare not look

I'm afraid to think that , in the olden days they used to say that cars rusted worst on the near side due to the amount of crud thrown up from the gutter.
That may have changed since we went metric, and joined the Common Market?

Excellent progress.
Just noticed your 33 has the nice early Zender kit . I liked that one more than the smoother , later one.

Fabulous

Finally got to the end of the sill. Had to fabricated an end panel as there wasn't one to be seen.

Nearly time to go over to the other side.........Vladimir!

Finally got some time, nice weather, inclination and gas to carry on.

Looks very STRONG to me!

Well that was really difficult to fabricate

Nice work Craig. Can you Pm me your home address and I’ll try to come over for that axle and stuff in the next couple of weeks .

Today's progress

Superb work as usual Craig

Nice job .
Car is looking good and will be great when all finished. Another one saved, yeh !!

Well had some time on furlough so back to it. After finishing the sill I started digging in the rear wheel well only to find the chassis leg had really bad rust. I decide to try and do the repair properly and ordered a new chassis leg from Greece. I managed to get my order in before Christmas to beat the brexit charges and post only for it to get stuck in Italy for about a month due to covid. So I'm all ready to go. I chop the leg out and put the new leg up to find the suspension mounting points are all different! Gutted so it's time for plan 2 cut a leg out of the scrap shell on the garden. Thank god for spot weld drills.

Sud leg going in

Do you think it was a leg for a S3 model?

It was sold as 905/907 chassis leg. But it has got to be a series 3

Contact the seller and ask for him to pay for the return, and then refund you.

I will just sit on it .it may come in handy some day to me or someone else.

After seeing so few 33s at the last two show I've been too I have started welding again.

Been repairing the boot corner

Top man, great that you are still slogging away. She will be great when you have finished her.

I didn't see that one

On to the other side

Nice to see a 33 getting some love, and such a nice job being done.
You're making good progress and being thorough, top marks

Bit more done today

Boot floor done

Sill looks better this side surprisingly! They didn't feel the need for the inner sill metal though last time it was done.

What the eye doesn't see, eh..

Shocking what often happens

A bit more done
