RE: Ivan141's coupe [project rebooted]
This project has not been going fast enough, so I decided to take a different approach.
When all the rewarding jobs are done on a chassis, you're left with a ton of small but time consuming jobs that need doing. I've found it's easy to make excuses to avoid doing these jobs. To keep my ass in gear I've now switched to a taskplanner, and I just make a per-day work agenda. The jobs dont get more fun, but at least you stop thinking of other more interesting stuff you could be doing. Today I managed to cross the following off the list: Rear bumper fitment finalized. -Found bolts for bumper to chassis-rail -Fixed holes in chassis rail, only 1 needed adjustment. -Adjusted left rear arch corner AGAIN, made it fit a little better. -Created some new mounting brackets beneath the rear pockets, used rivnuts for mounting. -Drilled holes in the arches.. need to buy some stainless rivnuts for thes though.. I want to weld them in place. Fixed a shorn off captive nut for the driver seat mount. Cut out the tired old metal, welded in new, rewelded the captive nut. I will be welding reinforcing rings around all seat mounts because 2 mounts have failed on this car so far. Have some pics.. nothing interesting though, will post those later. I'm convinced this is the way forward to getting this chassis to the blasters and ready for the next phase. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |
