Eleanor

Hi, Today I have done a bit work on Eleanor 😉 ! At first, Elli received some presents: – Monte Carlo Bar – Screws for the front lower Crossbar – Shelby Roll Bar (from MTF) – Eleanor Style Gas Filler (from MTF) – Eleanor Style side exhaust Tips (from MTF) All these Eleanor parts need […]

Hi, Today I worked on the RH side. I welded in the right Torque Box. After that, I aligned the Firewall, lower Cowl Panel, A-Pillar and outer Cowl Panels. I realized that something will not fit on the RH side – so I need to find out what it is there the next time … […]

Hi, Another working day ! Today I fixed the left torque box. Man – this was a hell of a work to get this fixed. As ever, drilled some holes, sand it blanc and put welding primer on it. Then weld it in and seal it with Zinc-Phosphat-Primer and Owatrol Oil. Todays work:

Hi, Today’s work were to finish the front frame rails. So I connected the floor supports to the frame rails. First I drilled a lot of holes for the welding, then I made the metall blanc. After test fitting, I used again welding primer. The the welding and smoothing the welds. I will do some […]

… isn’t Eleanor, but she already have again an engine bay 😀 ! Today I started with the front clip. First, I removed the battery tray – because the battery will move to the trunk. Less weight in front is always good, due to the fact that the Mustang is very front heavy. I need […]

Hi, After I finally got my parts on Monday, I can’t wait to start ;). So, I started with the front ! I bought the complete shock tower assemblies, so I used this as the starting point ! The LH fit very well, the RH not so good. So I had to adjust some things. […]

Hi, I needed to know how it looks like when Eleanor again have a nose. So, I mounted the front parts – they will need a lot of attention and labour. But it already looks like a car again ;):

Hi, überraschender Weise kam heute die Nachricht das meine Teile bei MC Parts eingetroffen wären. Glücklicher Weise hatte dann auch gleich mein Bekannter Zeit und wir sind direkt nach Weilerswist gefahren um die Teile abzuholen. DANKE OLLI ! Im Rückstand sind jetzt nur noch 2 Teile, eine kleine Ecke am Kofferraum und das Bodenblech für […]

… sie sollen nun Mitte März kommen. Also werde ich bis dahin dringend überfällige Arbeiten an Lisa ausführen. Nicht das noch Langeweile aufkommt 😀 …

Hi, Now the dash board is ready. Everything else is work for the painter 😀 ! Beside that, I sealed some parts with Zinc-Phosphate-Primer. Thats it for today … Pictures:

Hi, Yes – again dash board, but I will (hopefully) need only one more session. The back is now painted black. At the front, I needed a little bit more bondo because there is still one little spot which need a bit attention. After that, I derusted the last 2 remaining body parts. At last […]

Hi, The dash board is really pain in the ass – but slowly I will come to an end. Another “small” package arrived 😉 !
