Thanks Colin for your comments.
Yes it is clear that I have no mechanical training as I am an electronics engineer. Maybe that explains why my trafficators flash with super bright LEDs, and when I go into reverse a monitor in the cubby hole shows the view from a reversing camera. If you look carefully there are side cameras just below the trafficators as well.
It has been suggested that I should explain that this is a DIY rebuild, and only the sleeving of the motor and some chrome plating has been done by professionals. The motor has been made up from the best parts from two motors and from swap meets. Other smaller parts have been Nickel plated at home using chemicals made from Nickel and the appropriate acids. I did the body work over many years and really enjoy gas welding. Luckily the neighbours did not complain about the smell when I painted the car.
I bought an industrial sewing machine, learnt to sew and the interior is almost finished. Just not looking forward to doing the head lining though.
I have almost convinced myself that it will be fun doing the rear axle project, and if you know of any experts who can advise, please PM me.
Regards
