To be honest I can't remember where the fan came from. It could be from a diesel I stripped or Jackaroo. Had it for decades!

Yes I have still been doing a little on this.

I test fitted the clutch fan on the coupe and found it works really goodly!

Roof is just about done, just a few undulations that need filling yet.

A sneak peek at things to come! Drilled the holes for the Kadett headlights.

I should have enough bits and pieces in this lot to make a set of H4 RHD Kadett headlights.

So I don't have to use these which are being saved for the coupe.

Sanded the loose and excess bog off here.

With a new skim of bog.

This is as far as I'm going with this bit.

I don't know when I'll get more done as funds are low and it's getting too cold and dark early.

Get a pair of flood lights they're good for lighting and keep you warm.
What are you whinging about cold. I was fixing an alternator issue the other night in the dark. In my suit lol.

*Re comment on forum stuff. The forums been slowly changing for the best for a while now. I put an announcement up.
If anything should be less confusing. I'll put an updated thing up in a minute.

Yep I have a flood light. Its a 400w Mercury vapor but I don't need to work in the cold and I'm getting too old for that s*#t so I don't.
Actually its not the age but the mileage! :lol:

Thanks Daz

The more I think about it I don't think a diesel clutch fan will fit on the water pump.
If you still have your Piazza clutch fan maybe you can modify that. Maybe get different blades or machine it down?

Yeah ok , I do have that and it does need new blades . It fit but I trimmed them down a bit when i fit a 3 core .

I might make another post with some pics of it , it has a flat piece of sheet metal in the middle to change the bolt pattern
Thanks for reminding me ...

I am still trying to get these panels flat. Almost there!

Cut the tunnel to suit the remote shifter then cut a piece out of the old car to cover the bodgy hole from the previous conversion.
ImageDSC_0034 (Medium) by Justin Sherwood, on Flickr

When I cut the tunnel from the old car I saw more signs of how violent an impact it had. Not that you really see it in the pic but the tunnel is buckled and the remote shifter is slightly twisted.

Cut the rear sway bar mounts out of the wreck as well ready to weld in.

The body is as straight as it's going to be. I don't care if it's straight, bi or gay as I have had enough of spray putty and sanding. Anyways it's in primer now!

I reckon blocking the car back is the most relaxing bit! Except for the engine bay which is just a c*#t.

Putting the f*#cking car together without scratching it is the worst bit.

Justin what ever happened to the coupe and Kadett front end you had for it?

I know a guy who's interested in the bits.

Nope. No way! Kadyn is getting the coupe when it's finished. Spent too much already and it'll give me the s*)ts if I don't do it.
