Surprise! More Bodywork

This week Simon has started to replace the bigger side plates.

Rear left

The new toy we got.

It bends the metal so the welding is super easy.

The new plate in place.

 Then he started to work with the rear right plates.

The new parts.

The battery tray.

Cutting away rusted parts.

Preparing for the new plate.

 I have started to install the new brake lines.

The front part of the brake system.

The rear part of the brake system.

I still have 2 pipes left to install, but i need to wait until we have the parts we are missing for the right side brakes.

We also have talked to some guys about the adapter plate between motor and the transmission. They gave us valuable information about how we could solve our problem.

While we were talking we noticed a weird thing on the motor. The company that have made this motor fucked up and drilled wrong. They somehow drilled the hole for the flange and the hole for the hoisting ring at the same place. So they had to drill a new hole for the hoisting ring a little to the side.

Prime example of a fuck up.

You can see how only half of the thread is left.
