Big Car is very much back on the road now and getting some regular use. There are still quite a few areas that need working on in continuing the restoration. She’s running quite nicely, but she ain’t pretty! There are jobs to do that are either quite serious or more aesthetic/general.
Here’s the todo list, in approximately the order I’ll be looking at them:
- Remove rust and Waxoyl chassis
- Remove, repair and straighten wings, bonnet and front
- Inspect bulkhead, repair rusty areas, remove old welds
- Replace front door(s)
- Check mysterious oil leak
- Repaint whole exterior, affix chequer plates
- Front offside wheel no oil or cap
- Truck body rust areas
- Cabin floorpans rusting
- Rear window cracked
- Line / plywood truck body inner
- Fit speakers/wiring/head unit
There’re a few mods I’d like to make:
- Rock sliders
- Bull bars
- Snorkel (maybe)
- Exterior lights
- Install windows
But they’re all subject to funds!
Should be some fun times over the coming months.
