Solow's 1302 GL

A renovation of a classic

Category Archive : Floorpan

Keeps surprising me.

Started working on the car again, lots of disassembly and parts to renovate 🙂
Got started on the chassis, and got one side of the old floorpans off, but then looked at the framehead again, and it’s not welded on the underside either !!! Think that someone has been riding along with the whole front held together by the shitty welds on the inside.. damn!!
But hey.. everytime a have a moment to spare, i will clean some parts and have them painted, and then put to storage for the great assembly someday.

Small shock!!

Just looked at the framehead on my chassis.. Scary that some people driving around with this kind of welds. it’s keeping the whole front of the car together!! Imagine hitting a pothole, and the next thing you see, is you frontwheels and complete steering leaving you..

Top is off!!

After an hour work, the pan was seperated from the top.
The chassis is in much better condition that anticipated, but the body.. uh not good!
Gotta see if its better to find a body with no rust, or if i should just bite the lemon, and fix this one (and then know the condition)
