fitting new sombrero .

Here is a pic of a badly rotten crosmember carrier,there was a build up of silt which was holding moisture causing rot.

My best option was to cut it all out,

After I welded a new plate I poistioned the new somberaro in place and then drilled a series of holes,

I then welded through the holes and plug welded them,

After I cleaned up after the welds I sprayed a coat of galvanise again to help prevent rust.

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.

Follow along as I attempt a restoration on my Stingray.

I origionally bought this car to have for weekend driving and so on, I had in mind to tidy up the overall basic apperance starting with the interior then wheels etc; but once I started to remove certan parts I soon realised that this is going to need a little more than a tidy up,

Of course this being a blog page the most recent work I have done will be displayed first.
(a bit like reading a book from back to front really)

To the right there ia a Restoration Archive so you can select older posts from start to finish.
