My Wedge By Peter Campbell I purchased my wedge just before New Year 2001. The car had only done 500 miles in about 6 years, with 92k on the clock, so it was suffering from the usual layup problems (and some more stuff I didn't know about).
It is getting a new
clutch fitted, and uprated brakes front and rear, along with a new brake
master cylinder. The outriggers are rotting (see pictures with screwdriver
poking thru the 'rigger), so I am getting them completely removed and
new ones fabricated. I have been told by Noel that the rest of the chassis
is OK, so it is not a body off job (which would have been devastating
for me if it was). The outriggers are being repaired in-situ, by cutting them out, refabricating them, then welding on the new outrigger assemblies to the spine of the chassis.
Once that is done,
and after several coats of hammerite and liberal quantities of waxoyl,
everything should be good as new (for the chassis anyway). While the engine is
out I am busy de-gunking and painting the chassis from inside the engine
compartment and underneath. I'll keep you posted on how some of the jobs
are progressing, and submit more photos if I get the chance. Cheers, |
