....in time...

More important to do "real stuff" than search through the shoe boxes of old photos.

Got my admin done so off to get some splinters!!

Something I've been meaning to ask - I can see the little patches are shaped prior to fitting, my guess is you bend them with gloved hands against a solid bench or something.  Is there any hammer and dolly type stuff going on after they are welded in or is it grinder then straight to filler?

simple panels like that are easy to make as they dont really have any compound curvature in them, those 2 panels i actually beat around the gas bottle on my welder  Grin when tacked in used a hammer and dolly to tidy them up, shrinker stretcher turned up today so absolutly landed now i can crack on with the back end, wont be doing much to it this weekend as saturday i'm hoping to be picking up an air dryer for my compressor and sunday going to pick up parts for a future project, on the plus side i have odd headlamp glasses for the truck and just won another on ebay

having a serious change of heart and rethink about the pickup.......NO I'M NOT GIVING IN!!!.....i want to use this everyday for back and to to work , i'm seriously worried about lack of power though, 28bhp is erm...... useless! especially concidering its weight, supercharging would probably give me another 15bhp ish so that would take me to 43 bhp, respectable but i feel probably putting the engine to its limit, as between myself and father we have approximatly 5 spare aprilia engines and boxes 48bhp in standard reliable tune is looking more likely, going to measure up both enginebays and see if it will shoehorn in, keep you posted  Wink

Is it that you've just worked out how many kilos of filler and welding wire have gone into a "very light" truck since you pushed it through the door Wink   

Am keeping my fingers crossed you squeeze it all in...otherwise the next sequence of photos will be "take the front end of an Aprilia, cut here, weld to the rear 2/3rds of an Ardea pickup that was cut down from a van that's now been split lengthwise and widened to match the Aprilia bulkhead".

The only other combo I can think of is a Gamma engine under the rear deck  Shocked

...or keep the Ardea with its standard engine for local service, and convert the Evo to a pickup for the express deliveries...

Just to say that I've seen it in the metal! Cool and a fine job it is too.

They'll have to resurrect the 'Odd Ball Trophy' at next year's AGM - sure fire winner this.

Glad to hear you're back on it...and if you could put in a picture of the shrinker/streatcher as well that would be great...

It LOOKS like that tool worked like a charm.  Any problems or tricks?
