56 oval rag

BUGBOY · 2005-08-08T10:27:53+00:00

After selling my 56 oval I thought i'd remove all the details I had about it from this topic. I now will just post info about the project I'd been working on. Its another 56 oval 🤪 Have a few beers and get out the angle grinder. I find this settles the nerves.

Well the roofs now in primer.
Been working on a few dents here and there.

Will try to get some more pictures up this week.

Spent a few hours cleaning the shed, its amazing how quick it can get out of hand.:o

Will start on the floor pan soon but will need to off load one of my ovals to make some room.

Too many cars and not enough room!!!!!:P

This side had a long crease along the bottom.
A few hours work with the fliper and a bit of heating and shrinking and its all back to shape.

Have only a few more little dents left to fix and then I have to fit the front clip. Not looking forward to that as it a big job.

Now the wagons done I`m back onto the oval.
Heres a picture of the wagon anyway.
Before and after shots etc.
Bit more work than I wanted to do but still makes for a good daily driver.

It going to be full steam ahead with the oval rag project now.
Will start on the pan this week.
Most of the body work is done, just a little panel beating in the front and still have all the bolt on panels to do yet.
Sold one on my other ovals to make abit more room.
Still need a bigger shed. LOL:P

Just about to start on the gearbox.
replacing all the bearing and pinion bearing$$$.
Will check and replace worn selectors etc.
The gearbox is a late swing axle 1300 box.
I'll be replacing the axles with the early short ones and will fit adjustable springplates with type 3 wide 5 rear brakes.

Floorpan is still rolling , not much has happened with it yet.
