Another few little jobs completed. I got hold of an old steering wheel centre, so with a little bit of lathe work and a piece of aluminium hooked out of a skip have the 'mota-lita' wheel fitted. Have started tack welding up a box section steel frame which will support the steering column, gear lever & handbrake. The gear lever has a nice 'short coupled' feel! Awaiting delivery of a five gallon petrol tank so the rear box section frame can be made up. This will support the tank & battery. Pedal box is also progressing, so may have that finished by the end of the week......maybe...
Oh, and had to cut the bottom of the dash out for the gear linkage. A good job as I wasn't happy with the modern switch panel that I fitted anyway!

  1. Looking good, pretty soon you'll be sitting in it.Now is this car going to be something you can drive on the roads...street legal? With fenders and lighting?

  2. Hi Larry, yes it has registration documents so will be road legal. Luckily having the original registration for the 1932 chassis, makes it easier for the MOT test. Will need fenders (mudguards for us) & basic lighting.
