Things have been progressing pretty quick here.
Front brakes all rebuilt and re fitted
As are the rears
Fuel tank welded, painted and refitted
Floor finished
front and rear screens fitted
Handbrake cable had to be un seized
A.R.S.E :) Rust is what I do best. I have always been into the older car so learning how to fix them was essential. Over the years I have picked up a few skills and can now help others with their cars, and other items for that matter :) Gruntys Ltd is my company so give me a shout if you want something fixed.

Drivers side floor now done, just awaiting the blasted cross member to come back:)
the handbrake cable on passenger side was seized so it was removed, twisted, pulled and pushed then dosed with GT85 Thatfreed it so it is now hanging in the vice with oil seeping through it :)
New copper brake pipes made and a new end on the exhaust mounting :)
Front caliper soaked in oxalic acid for a bit, brought them up lovely :)
and painted :)

then came the weekend
Made a little doohicky which enabled me to connect my hydraulic press ram to the seized front claipers of my Zodiac, not seized anymore :)
Found 1 of the two manifolds so had a pattern to copy so I could make the second one. Now all fitted and we have now got it running.
All be it using a temp fuel tank as the original was found to have a hole in it after it was grit blasted.
Found some rust under the floor pan crossmember :(
Need to get this bit grit blasted
