Look closely! For the GOD is in the details!

Circled part!

Guys, I can hardly see any holes. You gotta see the VW Karl restored and most of all Gogi's Fiat! I agree there were hardly any holes in those as well because there was no sheet metal left at all to have any nonsense like holes and rust.

This is an old car and thankfully from Pune else you would have ideally seen how holes look like

.

Oh well, when I first heard about the 'holes' I expected a lot more. What we see here doesnt seem to be much considering the fact that this is a 'restoration'.

speedzak · 29th December 2007, 16:19

Believe me, this is just a tip of the Iceberg. But as Steer and oralfibre says in a restoration project, this maybe something we should expect. Nay?

Hello!!! The car as we see above,has had 20 days of work behind it with all equipment and expertise that could be mustered by the poor sods! The condition of the car when stripped down,was pathetic++! Photos of these will be uploaded at the earliest.

So,since the work has progressed beyond what we see here(as you were talking today morning to one of your tinkering crew),the car looks much better than above.

A marathon project!

The meters come from Mysore via courier, Ajay collects it passes on to jkdas, jkdas passes it to Nikkibike.

Nikki is passing it on to the Mallu Mullah, who will inshallah carry it to Bangalore during one of his visits. Else he doesnt get his FPR, MAS or TT from Dubai.

This project is going nice.

Thought of posting these Landmaster pics here - found this in pune.

Steeroid · 15th January 2008, 20:34

Bodywork completed and new chassis ready. Engine and other mechanicals will now be fitted to get the mounting points rights before they are removed again for painting.

Now we get into the details. This is going to be the tough part.
