Thanks, it’s been a roller coaster lately but it seems better now.

Ok back on track, Mini is done and the 40 is back in the shop.
I took it off the frame and …
…

lifted it upstairs.
There are a few other projects that require some space downstairs Before I can continue on that.
One of them is the frame, started repairing the center section.

It needs a bit of solid steel.
I’m going to fix the individual parts first and have them sand blasted.
They will be stored after that untill the body is done.

Good to see you back at it, hope your health issues are behind you.

I know this is a cruiser forum , but I’d sure like to see pics of that finished mini!

Hey mate, I hope you are doing good with all the health problems.
Any Update to the Projects? I miss your work...

Thanks, had some surgery that slowed me down a bit.
then the Jimmy took a bit of my time and space. We are getting along with it now.
Big time consumer now is that we (my wife) want to move and we need to clear the house from all the things that we don’t want in there if we are selling. Guess where it is going .
at least we are getting rid of a lot of junk that has accumulated in the past decade and a half.
Here are a few teasers of the Jimny.

New rearof the cab.
Working on the front fenders now.

Creating sort of a wide body.

Spend a few hours on the first fender today.

first pic is actually the last.
It is the wide body part like the wire frame.

How you been?
Any updates on the 40?!?!

 

[waiting for time]

Been busy with multiple other projects and life trowing some curve balls.
Last week we finished most of the Suzuki fenders.
As we will be moving to a new house somewhere next year I am finishing a number of side projects and move the “78 into the workshop.
The plan is to finish this one before continuing with the “81.

It will take a few months but there will be new stuff comming.

Wow over a year since my last post here, not the update I had planned.
things are changing fast at the moment, we bought a new house which is almost done and takes up most of the time now.
The ‘78 40 is now in the shop and is on top of the list for car content.
The garage in the new house is reserved for her when she is done.

Thanks, we liked the windows too. They do give you an extra challenge with the curtain situation. Especially with my wife’s expensive taste.
