Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

[Ivan141]

Progress report:

-Bent up new cunifer brake lines for the rear axle. Not an easy task, but the result looks like it will work:


Next to crusty old suspension for contrast:


What's this? No more rotisserie, thats what.


The eagle has landed:


Todo items on my mind these days:
-Refurb driveshaft. I ordered 3 new u-joints for about €30. I'm going to attempt it myself. As long as I dont screw up the yokes I can still dump it at a specialist store if DIY doesnt go well.
-Prepare reconditioned rear brake anchor plates and hardware for mounting to axle. (zinc-plate the bolts/nuts, clean up my 'new' calipers.
-Buy some stuff for finishing off the rear axle (solid spacer kit, gasket kit, axle end plates).

When I have a working parking brake again the next priority is getting the shell reunited with the doors and trunk/bonnet so we can start 'mudding' the heck out of it.
