The front cover and the water pump installed.
Since the sanding parties are still lightly attended, I've decided to steal a line from Seinfield and change the name of the gatherings to Fat Cat Non-Industrial Smoothing. The shots are of the rear clip where some smoothing activities have occured. Can you tell where the smoothing happened? Interesting in that the paint inside the trunk was painted over the rust.
Looking like good progress. Happy new year!

Happy New Year, Zach. Sorry, I can't open the link. Tell me about your Dad's xk120 when you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteIn brief, an early '53 FHC with the all of the correct S stampings. Wires versus spats. Had a portable gas can mounted in the trunk to supply fuel when he purchased it, though the engine had not been turned in some time (nor has it been since). We gave it a good effort, thinking the engine wast turning (large front nut did spin) in the 1997/1998 timeframe, however, the pistons held fast in their cylinders. More or less it has been idle since that point, awaiting the proper combination of time and money to make it go once again. I should upload a few more pics that I have sitting around, but some of this should look familiar - http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachz/sets/72157600885686381/with/344364406/
ReplyDeleteSaw the photos. Looks like a great project. It also looks really familiar with the engine bay shot. I'd love to see more.
