Santa is early this year

First thing first. This is how the engine room looked after Simon´s hard work and some paint.

We are going to do the final paint after the motor holder is in place.

Okay so we had already got the motor and controller but they forgot to send us the switches and control cables, and we have been waiting forever for them to send the rest of the parts.
When finally we got it, guess what, they still messed up and did not send all the parts we ordered.

The cooling pump, 3 switches and a battery gauge.

Cable that goes from the controller to all the switches. 

The motor that got delivered 3 months ago.

The controller that we got at the same time as the motor.

We also got a crazy big vacuum pump because PAF wanted to pay a little more when it comes to the brake system. 

The vacuum pump that also got delivered with the motor and controller.

 We also got our repair parts for the car.

Big package for big boys.

One of the many boxes we got.

Started to check if everything got delivered.

Simon started with switching out metal panels.

This is such a simple metal panel that we could have made it ourself but it did not cost much so what the hell.

Just doing some measurements.

Now Simon had taken away all the rusted metal and painted the inside.

I started to check on the breaking system and decided to start on the left front disc brake.
We had decided to keep the caliper and switch out almost everything else.

Let the transformation begin.

I did not get long in the process before i got a problem. The brake pistons were crazy stuck and we did not have the proper tools for taking it apart. So i have to go and borrow the right tools next week.

While i was at the brake i changed the shock absorber and painted the brake plate.

While i waited to fix the front brakes I started on the rear brakes.
And once more i got stopped in my tracks, we had forgot to order the brakeshoe self adjusting screws for the brakes.
So i started to work on the gear shift/transmission but i have no pictures of that yet.

Old to the left and new to the right.

At this point Simon was done with the panel at the back and had moved to the driver side floor step. 

I forgot to take a picture of how it looked before he started. But if i say RUST you maybe get the picture.

After a lot of measuring, 3 metal plates a fair amount of welding and a little paint this is how nice it got.

Simon got a whole 10 minutes of rest before he started with the next thing.

Next up was the door. It had much rust along the bottom side and it was basically the paint that hold it together.

A quick check if it was the right door we ordered.

All the rust have been cut away and we can see the entrails of the door. 

Only a little welding left and it can be mounted back on the car.

So this week we got much work on the car because we were free from school and we got most of our stuff.
