Not easy to take a hacksaw to chassis that is nearly 80 years old! Wasn't too bad after making the first cut. New cross-member made up with gearbox mountings, and existing front engine mounting bar welded up to fit new chassis mounting points.Ford Fiesta engine mount rubbers used for gearbox & engine mounts. The new chassis mounting plates will also be used to cross brace the chassis. After much checking and everything tack welded, it was totally stripped down. I'm sure those rear springs have never been out before. several broken studs, a whole can of WD40 and plenty of heat and everything now in component form. Tempting as it is to get all the parts powder coated, I have a feeling that I may not have quite have finished the cutting & welding bit, so think I will opt for my own brush job.......
