    well as some of you know i am building some aluminium doors for this car, but i need them now to check the opening with the window frame along with the lock post before the longitudinal gets closed up and the floor gets fitted. so i took the original doors to get glass blasted at 'blast and peen' in keysborough Melbourne, so i can repair them as it will be quicker than finishing the alu doors. (what with making a jig to fit the original door into then take templates and so on)

    here's what's left lol...

            Your fabrication skills are simply amazing Neil! The shapes you turn out are impressive to say the least. I'm looking forward to watching some alloy doors being built.

              JOP, yes i still have the cheapo english wheel, I too would love one of Peter's wheels but that will be much later on if at all with my hand!

              Justin, I am almost half way through one alu frame!

                      thanks for sharing your pictures, they seemed somehow familiar, and after looking i realised why, i have a picture of a door the same as those but not on your red coupe

                      • I not only marvel at your ability to fabricate parts but also your willingness to presue repairing these doors. I would have taken the easy way out and bought a fresher pair. Awesome work Neil!

                          on to the next part now, the bottom!

                          Comment


                          • so the bottom piece! you can obviously buy these parts but where would be the fun in that?... so I made a press with some steel RHS I had laying around (like you do). I bought some 150mm X 10mm flat bar to make some dies, the male die had shapes tacked on it and the female had holes milled in it. This is today's result

                              How loong time is delivering for ordering parts ?
                              I need to fix my tooling for my Pullmax so i can start being a litle bit more productive...

                                quite happy with it, i'll do another as a spare and then in aluminium for my other doors.

                                thanks for following the madness
