Thread: my 48 Vauxhall

Tweet

next up it was decided that i would have to box my chassis to cope with the extra hp.
so the body was removed and i started to tare the car apart and get rid of all the unwanted bits lol.
working conditions were a little harsh, i missed having a concrete floor to work on, i am still finding bits and peices that were bueried in the gravel two years ago.
removing the body.


the chassis was stripped and i then cut the centre of the old k member out and modified it to accept the new engine and auto trans, I also boxed the chassis using 3mm flat bar.the tail shaft loop was later changed to a piece of round gas pipe(prophane)


I then fitted a Volvo rear end, as the volvo comes in a good range of gear ratios and was also a disc brake rear end, it also has early holden stud pattern and i wanted to keep my wheels which have been on the car since 1979, so the old leaf spring rearend was removed and the volvo one fitted.



it was then all flap discked back ready for a coat of KBS Rust seal which is made by the old chemist who used to have por15.

I brushed the KBS Rust seal on and it came up a treat off the brush, it levels out so good you can't even see the brush marks.
