SambaS Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Took some measurements for the windscreen frame today and the roof. She turns over but is out of fuel so will sort that in the coming days. I'm on my way up the scrapyard from some wheel nuts for it. it only came with 2 on each wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaS Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Make frame from sheet metal, rivet on, get some windscreens made and fitted, refit wipers and washer, bit of wiring, weld roof on, bolt seats down, MOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Skizzer sent me back to Yorkshire from Wales with a big tin of green paint for this. Also, he mentioned something about clips for the roof, but in the excitement of Shitefest I forget exactly what. SambaS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SambaS Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ace, I'll be able to paint the windscreen frame. Don't think I need roof clips, they were probably for the convertible idea the last owner had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SambaS Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Quitting my job and getting a normal hours job was the best thing I ever did. Evenings are NOT work time. They are fucking fixing the car time.  Cleaned this up to bare metal and treated and primered and topcoated then seam sealed, over the space of this afternoon.   Shabosh! Sigmund Fraud, Semi-C, Jim Bergerac and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaS Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ordered the metal for my windscreen frame today, £20 not bad. Called Auto Glass and had a difficult conversation with a southern Asian sounding man from London regarding make and model, and he just couldn't get his head around the two windscreens thing. Phoned round insurers, Adrian Flux £216.80, Lancaster £172.08, Footman James £121.46 so that's arranged for September 23rd. I will take if for MOT without the windscreens if need be. Pass and advise so I'm led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Don't laugh but try someone like PSV glass if it is just flat glass on the windscreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike60 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 As already said if the glass if flat the screen should be no bother, I work on the dock and we get National windscreens in regularly, guy turns up and cuts out freehand from a sheet. I had side windows put in a Merc van a few years back by the same boys, I'm sure one of your local outfits will do a similar service, you want someone who does plant as well as cars.

michael1703 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I use plant fitters for glass like that When you've got a jcb on site and something clangs the screen they come out with a sheet of flat laminate, scribe around the busted screen or in your case a hardboard template, cut the glass,blow torch the edges and jobsagoodun  I've paid £40 for half that size of screen, if you find the right fitter it could be an £80-£120 job Find a local plant hire firm and ask who fixes their digger windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaS Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Autoglass will supply glass and rubber, cut to size on site and fit my screens for £216. Or a company in Halifax £76 cheaper but I have to take the Jimp to them Collected metal today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaS Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jimp is gonna need a pair of 10" wheels and tyres for the front as the 12" are catching the inner arch. Strange as these came with the option of either size wheel. And a pair of track rod ends!   Can anyone help? Also I cant remember the MOT legislation for different size wheels I know they must be the same across an axel, I assume bigger wheels on the driven axel are okay, with smaller on the front. Remembering all the 70s hotrods from times of yore. EDIT: That's the track rod ends sorted potentially by fitting new dust covers, I'll wait and see if he finds any play in them at MOT first http://item.ebay.com/171431428877 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Edd, I think we have two or three 10 inch Mini wheels here(that's what you need, right?) Available to you in exchange for a special favour (yet to be determined). SambaS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordperv Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 as long as the axle has matching sizes its fine, yes you can have a different diameter at the rear than the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
