Sorry to interrupt, but regarding the heater lettering - I used letraset rub down transfers. These are easily available and cheap.

Looking good

Thats a great restoration, the detail shows the passion you all seem to have for getting things right, first class.

sclemow, do you have a size and script type that you have used for your heater, that would be good information.

[skorstensfejeren]

Hi 36inter..

Thanks for your kind words. Always nice that someone like what they see, after many hours of work...

The correct script type is HELVETICA. I can´t remember the size, but will find it for you.

Regards René

[sclemow]

I'll see if I can find the letter set.

Heater front plate lettering is Letraset Helvetica Medium Condensed 3mm, RDC0130.

I used the VHT crackle paint from Frost and then rubbed the letters on using the tool provided with the Letraset.

Cheers

Working on the front brake calibers.

The 1071 is now in the subframe. The brakes, pipes, drive shafts and so is done, so ready to go in the car when it´s ready. ( or putting the body shell on more correctly )

Thanks guy´s

Splendid subframe assembly and nice to see the early oil cooler bracketry.

Is the subframe blasted, painted, powdercoated?

[skorstensfejeren]

Hi Giff..

thanks ..

First I sodablasted the frame and all the parts. Then It was spayed with a layer of spray filling, and hand polished to get it nice and smooth. After that a layer of primer, then polished again. and at last 2 layer of paint...

[Giff]

Now that’s attention to detail, I was planning git blast, acid etch then powder coat.
Seems somewhat lacksidasical now…

[skorstensfejeren]

Powder coat is also a great way to fix it, no doubt. But then someone had to do it for me. the other way I could do it by my self...

[skorstensfejeren]

The work on the boot floor is going well. I tried to use as much original floor as possible. So just changes the end of the floor. Next job is to put a new battery box in, and some finish work on the tin layer....

[COOPERMAN]

Lovely work, fantastic attention to detail, that engine looks the business i must admit of all the coopers the 1071 was by far the most fun, wish i still had mine

[skorstensfejeren]

The carburettors is now done... A little job between the bodyworks.

[Toby]

Are those the original carbs that belong to the car, as there is a vacuum take off on the right hand one?
You must have put some time in polishing those!
