Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Stole a quick hour yesterday from work.

It was 3’C outside, some chilly breeze and a bit of rain earlier.

SomI fetched the last of the underseal from the garage, added a small bit, around 50ml of white spirit (fake turpentine) to it, and brought the tin into the house, into a pot of boiling water on the stove and melted and mixed it all up to be able to paint it on the wheel arches and inner fenders.

Amazing how much easier it works when warmed up.

Front end complete.



Rear arches all done.



Body itself now ready to go back on, once a few other chassis jobs are done.

Brake lines, fuel lines, part of the loom to be routed under the body, along the chassis.

Fuel tank, and I want to inspect and possibly restore the original which will be a correct fit, and leave space for the rear silencer that @kevins donated to the build. Or else see what is available online in a small, aluminium or similar size.

A few other jobs still to be done.

Today is Sally’s day, (payback comes eventually) so not planning any build time.

Maybe a coffee at the Turkish place as reward.
