Remember the dash…..?
Vinyl got to be delivered today. So tomorrow I need to get on with the dash.\ Need to go buy some contact glue. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds More little jobs. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Last night I got these photos.
Progress on the fuel tank. Includes welded baffle plates to keep it tight. Original MX5 fuel tank with pump and senders and returns. I hope it all fits in under the floor. I envisage lengthening of some wires to make them reach. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Early start at the garage, Sally is off today, so I may have to payback a bit (unlikely) and mate @craigrk is coming to collect a load of stuff I collected for him and staying over before heading back to Shropshire tomorrow afternoon. Also need a tin of contact adhesive for the vinyl work once all is prepped. Loads to get onto today. Later. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Was looking for a pic that shows how and where the fuel tank used to sit.
Looks low to be honest. Found these pics from 18 months ago. Just how far has it come. Thanks to all the helpers, advisors and watchers. Copied and pasted for my own pleasure. So late afternoon yesterday after getting back from shops and various jobs, Sally and I were able to start on looking at, and cleaning the Piggy. She continues to surprise me. By the time I came out the house after doing some work stuff that needed to be dealt with, this is what I found. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5701.HEIC And the back of it looking like this https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...5384a33f70.jpg So proceeded to get a brush, wheelie bin and scoop..... About 1/3 of the bin filled with leaves and debris. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...28b608f4b0.jpg Moss next, and leaves under the hood. How does it all get in there? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...69207ac83a.jpg After all this, I went to get my pressure cleaner, forgetting that it really does not work anymore, resulting in waking Mickey up from his 6.00pm post pub sleep, he was zonked. Got his cleaner and then proceeded with the job for an hour or so. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5728.HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...6dcbde7342.jpg Only got the rear half done, as it turned cold and light was fading. But happy so far. Need to do the rest today. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5734.HEIC Starting with it looking like this....... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5781.HEIC Pressure cleaner left it like this, after intense, close up cleaning https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5776.HEIC Much better, but still not right. I thought I would try a trick I used on the Chevy Blazer glassfibre roof before. Domestos bleach gel, brushed on neat, washed off after 5 minutes, removes the staining, giving a much nicer look. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag..._IMG_5780.HEIC So off to the tyre place next, then back to pressure clean the rest of it, followed by bleach to remove the stains after that, and another pass with the pressure cleaner to remove it all. Hope to get that all done today. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Well.
So much for taking the day off to do stuff. But, I did manage to clean up and sweep up the whole carport and drive after yesterday’s storms deposited half the garden un under the Rezin Rockit. Mickey was clearing out his garage, and a load of electrical tools. Now the first thing I will say is that you have to be bloody desperate for a few beers to stand and cut all the electrical cables of perfectly good power tools. Sadly, he does like a drink, a lot. So before the tools ended up on the sidewalk to be collected as scrap, I put them all in the wagon and brought them home, along with a couple of small metal toolboxes, one of which will be added to the rear of the car. @craigrk will be here tonight to collect them and some more stuff I have collected for him over the last three months or so. Dewalt cross cut saw is in working condition as are the others. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds It never ceases to amaze me how wasteful people can be, and then complain about the cost of living. I was also speaking with,Darren at Unit Engineering this morning about a good time to collect the fuel,tank, which is now completed. So after agreeing to “any time” I messaged Sally to ask if she wanted to go with to Sheppey. She needed new trainers, a soft toy for Bonnie (from a charity shop) and I needed to find a large piece of high density foam to add to the inner firewall as noise absorption and to tidy up all the visible fasteners in there. No luck on finding an inch thick yoga mat type piece of foam, but trainers and toys ✅ Then around to Darrens shop to collect the tank and scavenge as usual. I also had marked the gearshift extension where it needed to be kinked. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So we put it in the hydraulic press and managed to get it perfectly bent. The sort of service you do not get many places. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And easy as that. Kinky. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Back home, Sally went off to get her seedlings potted for this year. And I unpacked the car. First thing………… Screw it in. Love it. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Scavenging at Darrens yard, I found and traded two sets of gokart wheels. One set for me, one set for Craigs wagon he is building on the chassis he bought off Uncle Bob. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Why would you want a 3 Series or C-Class sedan when you can have a wagon. Loaded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Love a wagon, did I mention it already? Unloaded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Tank needs to be dried out before assembly. I am also going to drill and weld in a drain plug in the bottom, in case one ever needed it. Then once fitting starts, I will make up the tabs to weld on and bolt it under the body so all access is free to the feeds and wiring. The Mazda fuel tank parts were shortened to fit in the 10 inch depth of the new tank. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Now headed down to the garage for a late start. What next. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Smallest parcel ever.
Replacement fog light switch. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds One of the small toolboxes Mickey threw out will become the fuel filler cover. Mocked up with the back cut out, and lockable should work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Back to the new tank. Do I add in a drain plug on the underside? Cutting this one from the old tank and cleaning and welding it in. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Made some new mounting tabs for the new tank. Hope to get them on today. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I am hoping for around 10 inches clearance at the rear, and more than the diff once tank is filled, and new tyres are loaded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Breakfast next. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
So Craig got in well after 8.00pm and we had fish and chips, and sat chatting till late.
Then off to bed, Craig slept on the couch, full,house at Casa Grizz. Up, coffee and chatting by -6.15 Later we were out to gather all Craigs treasures, fetch my trailer from Uncle Bobs place, clean it and pack it all. Then we found some 25mm square tube and also some 20mm to use as inserts……. Craig chopped the chassis in 2 and I proceeded to weld it all up, 10 inches longer. Shod with off-road buggy wheels, bought from John the lodger, it will be a great tool Hacksaw at work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And the 10 inch extension. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Braced, welded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Some rattle can over the welds became burgundy all over it. Mickey was already there inspecting, and then @mercdan68 popped in for a chat, declined coffee, but good to see him and chat about his boy destroying a perfectly good cat 😉 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Dan left, Mickey left and by 1.00pm Craig left for his 200 mile run home, trailer behind the ML Benz. As Craig left, Dean @gentabout and his daughter, I mean wife Yvonne arrived for a visit and to deliver some special cargo……… We sat out on the deck, shared 100 stories, great to meet up, and even nicer having good company. Eventually they left, in his MG………. Embarrasingly his car refused to start, as he had left the lights on when he arrived a few hours earlier. Jump pack to the rescue, the car barked into life, and then they were off home. Very Nice car. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And the contents of the parcel they had delivered……… https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Thank you very much Dean. So answers on a postcard…… What is the paint for? Thanks for checking in. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
So after Mickey and @mercdan68 left, Craig and I had less than an hour before he had to head back home via a detour to pick up another machine.
He came sans trailer, but left with my 5 foot, tall caged trailer and his car already half full. So first was to generate space for the fuel pump pipes and wiring on top of the tank. 2x4 seemed a perfect shim to create and keep the space while setting up to weld the tabs. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Mickey had just reappeared to give me a nice two tin trolley jack, so took a pic of us worms, then promptly left again as they had a lunch date. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So welder out, tacking started, first two tabs in position. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds At this point Craig had to leave, and s I saw him off, Dean @gentabout and Yvonne landed….. and an awesome visit followed. Actually loved stepping away for a bit, like this mornings breakfast meeting. Once we had done an mini inspection of the garage, they left, and I headed back down to resume fabrication. Weird how I could not get the tank up square, the mounting holes were also not quite in position, so some drilling and filing ensued, followed by BFH action to make both step down a tad. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Tacked in, then removed for a decent weld up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Good Sally had come back with the dog, so I shut shop early and went for a walk. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Found this oil can at the side of a farm building. How long has it been there? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Right. Breakfast and driving the S10 calls. Later. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Not been to the Kent Breakfast meeting for American cars for some time.
It had become a roving kind of meet and to be honest, bootfairs trump food any day in my world. But they may have a new venue 20 miles from me…… So today I popped up there, after Sally suggested I need to take a break from the garage. No regrets ultimately. In early, had breakfast and left by 10.30 Nice to have the truck out for a proper blast down the motorway. Company good as always, and I left early to carry on with the Rezin Rockit build. Venue is just off the A2/M2 at Ebbsfleet near Bluewater https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds £9.95 eat as much as you can, drinks unlimited too is a decent deal at a pub style restaurant. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Breakfast included 3x Croissants, and two Flat white coffees from a machine that were quite drinkable. Outside. Stripes roolz. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds A nice group of guys, random mix of cars and trucks. And no dick swinging. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Back home and out by 11.00 today.
Breakfast was nice, but felt like a waste of garage time. Still, no regrets. So I tidied up, and added a few bits to the welds. Also opened the mounting holes on the tabs. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And on so that I could work out the next job……. Guessing time. What? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Once the tank is fitted the filler neck is now this low as I have dropped the tank so the MX5 fuel system can fit under the floor. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So I created a template to cut away the bottom of the toolbox that will hold the filler cap once completed. Cut, cleaned up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Ready for etch primer. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And primed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I think it will be a Marmite addition to the car. I like Marmite. |

For those who like animals, and in this case, dogs.
Went for a walk, met a German Shepherd named Gus. Adult dog. She went straight in and was running circles around him.

Paging @nickwheeler
Hammerite rules. One for you Painted tank. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Also test fitted this one. I know there is a change I am considering but need to consider it first. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Back in a bit. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
RIGHT………
Time for the Tech-Heads to pop their heads up like a family of Meerkats. Exhaust and Tank were the last big jobs to get done before bolting the body down again (maybe finally) Along with brakes, wiring etc that are all easier to get to without the tub in the way. So on Sunday after bolting the tank into place, this was the view from the rear. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And poking a long stick in the open down pipe and resting it on the rear axle gave me this…… https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I could not get the Ford Ka 1.6 rear box that @kevins donated to the build, in there with it curly piece attached. And was not going to start cutting it up. Measuring up the various length and diameters gave me this……. Ford Ka rear box entry is 2” but the pipe welded to it is 1.75” It will need cutting and rewelding to make it over the rear axle, fit next to the tank and hang in a way that the rear exit pipes look right. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds On the engine side the original down pipe exits this flange at 2” vs the rear end at 1.75” of the Ka bendy bit. I am happy to reuse the Ka bendy bit of course, if I can make it all come together. Having spoken to @pauly my guru (one of many) it seems that change in diameter will make little difference in this sort of car. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So it leaves me with about 1200mm of straight 2” pipe to buy and some fiddling to make it all come together, and some welding,and a clamp or such, along the way. Paperwork summary https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Over to the collective. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
I am sooooo looking forward to an early finish tomorrow as the last three weeks have been a bit full on.
And there is talk of another restructure for Q3 so June/July sh!t will happen for some of us, kills my head. Last night after I got home and wrapped the work day up, I needed a small win to just help my head relax a bit. So I grabbed the badges @peteh1969 had printed for me, and the paints that @gentabout Dean had brought over on the weekend and sat down indoors. Starting with the Piggy Pink, I soon realised that I needed much more light, and a pair of reading glasses as some of the colour inserts are very small. These is also paint spillage that will be corrected when I do the final fill with black on the raised edges, followed by application of a clear sealing coat as directed by Pete. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Piggy Pink done. Bloody slow job. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds At this point I poured a sherry. Yes, something sweet. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I also decided to add some Silver to the Rocket as the black as per original artwork would blend too much and get a bit heavy. Glad I did. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And finally I had to step away from the paint. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And closer up for the Zoomers. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Next job will be black edges etc to tidy it all up, followed by clear over the whole lot. And no, not going to resin fill them, though it is extremely tempting. I suspect that I would get caught out by the curing times and bubbles in the corners when you look at just how fine the tolerance is on some parts here. So compared to the original from page one of the build thread, I am happy with the result. Even from 3 foot they will look fine. I trust. u][/u]https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...617be5112a.jpg And 3, 2 , 1 and back to reality and the day job. Almost the weekend. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
5 minutes in the garage.
And it all ground to a halt. One nut undone with an impact wrench. One looks like it is welded, and rounded off with the rattle gun. Do I cut and drill the studs out and start again ? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Thought I would lay the basics out on the floor. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Hopefully it will come together soon enough. . |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Before I forget.
Ordered some Johnsons Klear off Amazon to coat the badges with. Said to dry both hard and with UV protection. Also did the black outlines. Plenty Good Enough for a 3 foot inspection. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds A lot of the detail will be lost on the casual observer. But it makes me smile. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Using my special, banned tool, I got the second nut undone.
The threads are good, and new gasket was ordered, will get some new nuts. Job done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Went to Euro Car Parts yesterday to collect a Nissan Micra high pressure fuel filter @pauly made some suggestions for me to consider that includes a return valve that may be needed in the system.
Hopefully @nickwheeler can decipher Pauls advice. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds While out, I saw a nice example of some French engineering that with small, subtle tweaks, drew my eye. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I had ordered two 57mm exhaust clamps and a gasket, along with the fuel filter. Looking at the list pricing, I wonder how these prices differ so wildly. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds When I collected, they only had one clamp. Slightly miffed, I was sure there would be another at home, but it is a risk to hope you have a random one floating about. Serendipity. Got home and the straight pipe I had ordered was delivered on time, by DHL. Guess what…..? An exhaust clamp included in the price, I had not realised. John my one lodger was home early, and took a pic when I laid them out. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Job for the weekend. Next job was to quickly assemble the tank inners. Pump, return etc. Got the original screws and realised that the build was done using M5 nuts rather than the M3 that was standard on the MX5 tank. Thankfully I have a tub of nuts, bolts etc in all sorts of sizes that always gives and gives. Got 12 bolts and tried them, 5 of the nuts would not thread in, so out came the small Tap and Die set and a quick run through saw me fighting the next fight, threading them all and keeping the rubber gasket in position. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Fuel pump arm shortened by 60mm to fit in the new custom tank. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Pray this lot does not need to be taken apart again. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Also looked in my collection of three filler caps to see if one fitted…….. Nope. So need to go out and find one I suspect that this is a former Ford filler neck. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Hopefully not too hard to find one. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Well, Wheels Day came and went.
I chose not to go for various reasons, none very valid in retrospect. I hope it was a good day for those who went and that someone takes the time to create thread for us all. At home I saw this walking to the garage with uncle Bob who came to see what filler cap my gas tank needs. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds He does not have one that fits in his stash either. Parts store it is then. Fingers crossed. Or else it may end up being a simple plastic bung type in the end, protected by the locking toolbox, balanced on the rear bumper. While I was at that job, I pulled out the towball and plate that came from somewhere. I want to be able to tow with this car, my small garden trailer etc. So along with the toolbox bolted on, I am going to weld this guy onto the top bolt and fasten it with the nut from behind. Tow ball goes one step lower. I can imagine people shouting and gesticulating on the motorway that I have forgotten my toolbox and wrench on the back. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Cleaned and painted. Needs fitting and wiring into loom. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Weirdly, I did not get started till after 1.00pm with helping Mickey next door, and Uncle Bob spending more than two hours here. So I drilled the holes for the plates to hold the new dash, using existing holes. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Then added more holes through both wood and fiberglass. Should hold it in place. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Once all were straightened and made to fit exactly as expected, I added the glue to seal them in place. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And the rear looks tidy. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I will trial fit it later today, in the hope all 11 studs thread through the holes and that it fits around the steering wheel and under the window frame. Sun is out…… |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Almost 10.30 on Easter Sunday, and I am not expecting to be in the garage before 11.00
Slow start, Bunny shaped crumpets and coffee, and Sally just left to go work in her garden, cook Uncle Bobs dinners for the next three days. So I will do a quick write up of yesterday’s work with @nickwheeler. I went shopping early on to see if I could find a fuel filler cap, or radiator cap to fit the neck of the fuel tank. No luck. BUT…….. petrolcaps.co.uk is the address Nick had supplied, and is a bona fide supplier of you will never guess……. Yup, petrol cpas. @mercdan68malready dropped off a filler cap earlier this morning that is not a fit, but a good place to start making a new neck for, before wafting off in his W202 Mercedes Benz, sunroof and windows open, Meatloaf’s Bat Outta Hell drifting down the road. What a way to use a real 20-something year old car. Back to yesterday. Nick proceeded to plan where to attach the high pressure fuel filter, changing his mind three times. The tank was also fitted and removed three times, including removing the fuel pump unit to establish the feed and return, as I could not remember which way they went. Making a clamshell bracket took longer than a few minutes, as did attaching it, and some other brackets for the various fuel lines and pipes. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds There you see well over 10 minutes of work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Result https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And second fitment of three. Yes, of course I helped. (Someone had to jack it up, fit axle stands and make coffee) https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds In the mean time, I carried on with other jobs, including the dash testing, some more dash reshaping in order to fit the steering column shroud once covered in vinyl. In and out about 6 times for fine tuning. Also now fits with all the studs glued in place and holes drilled. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Another job that took an easy hour was again, fitting and fine tuning the switches that have been retained or added from the MX5 donor. Fog lights, cluster lighting, hazard light switch, heater/blower switch and of course the twin USB charger points. This little cover for the Hazard switch took forever to work till it was round enough, with flattened fixing tabs at the back, made from one bit of flat Dexian shelving. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Trust me, once covered in scrim foam and vinyl it should look a bit better. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds While the body was up in the air, we also started to cut and trim the rear box @kevins donated, and the straight length ordered this week. I had to be shut and showering by 6.00pm for a chest CT scan hospital appointment at 7.30 Yes, they work on a weekend too. Amazing team I was dealt by. A bit of fiddling, a bit of luck should see the pipe miss all the obstructions, both fixed and moving. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I tried one more little job just as we closed shop. I hope @nickwheeler has stopped laughing, because he was still laughing when he drove off toward the sunset and home. Suffice it to say, one of my plans had completely backfired, and the joy he got from it was amazing. I am sure he will be along to,explain……. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Mate Fil did a quick Photoshop of a pic I had sent him when we were chatting about how far we had made it. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Well, it is 10.51 now, 30 minutes later. Need to get out and spend some time moving more small jobs along. Later gang. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
So in between domestic duties, and a variety of things, I also spent so e time down at the garage.
Not a lot of time, but still a little bit of progress. @Mercdan68 dropped off a fuel filler cap with a key. Thos was not a fit, but got me thinking. So I went back to my pile of 3 vintage fuel caps, all with at least one key. Found one I liked, that has two keys. And started with a bit of offcut 2” mild steel exhaust pipe. Cut and shaped to counter the weird angle of the tank filler exit. Followed by some measuring and then using my large step drill, and a half-round file. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Filed till the hole was the right size, measured, marked and filed to allow the tabs entry. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Test fitted. Liking that. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Glued it together. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Hammerite tomorrow. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Following this, I made a major cock up. I used a flap disc to smooth down the mounting plates, then a bit of satin black to seal the open steel. So the next job was cutting the scrim foam to size, spraying the contact adhesive on both surfaces and joining them. Major mistake……… Once on top of each other, I walked over the back of the dash panel to ensure maximum adhesion. Mistake, mistake, mistake, and Nick will give me a bollocking, maybe. Amazingly, the pattern of the brick paving has gone through and is visible on the scrim foam. Tomorrow morning I will cut the excess off with a scalpel blade. Then apply a second coat to absorb the irregularities. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I also closed shop early and spent some time with Sally, she continues to put up with me playing in the garahe. So we went for a 3 mile walk over the marshes and took Bonnie along, she loves these walks. So many smells and things to see. Different from her previous life, caged up 24/7 in a block of apartments. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I keep repeating this, but it is true. Little jobs that keep stealing,time. But life is good. |

And this was how I solved this one for myself.
Could have made it at an angle, had it at an angle, but then minimal OCD kicked in and fitted it straight. Also tempted to change the colour to blue to make it contrast and look like a Record brand tool, which it is. The toolbox of course stays as part of the illusion. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Waiting for the first horn beep and wild gesticulating. |

Went to fill my car today and saw this van.
You certainly cannot ignore it. As an ex serviceman myself, and possibly being true to my own beliefs, this really does appeal. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Owner was proud of his immaculate car. |

Easter Monday.
Some parts of the world has had a 4 day weekend, and thus a short 4 day week ahead. Various tasks, including food shopping, also wanted to get a digital photo done for a new passport application. But photo shop was shut for the long weekend. Job for another day then. Got back by 11.00 and in the garage by 11.15, coffees in hand as Nick had already started and opened the shop. Time consumers continue to consume more time than anticipated. So I carried on tidying phase one of the “upholstery” Clearing holes, padding the kick panels and inner side panels with the ever patient Nick guiding and explaining the finer intricacies of scrim foam, which it turns out, is super sensitive to pressure, irregularity and even the contact adhesive before it fully dries. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Using a strip of the vinyl I used to to create the right tolerances for switchgear and panel fit. Thanks Nick for the warning and advice on that, disaster avoided, again. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds The dash will get a second coat of scrim foam this week, in order to make it plush once covered. Interestingly, the seller is out of stock of black vinyl. When I tried to buy another meter of black it showed no stock. Grrrrrrr. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Monday @nickwheeler came around and we carried on with the exhaust pipe
Starting at the down pipe flange, measuring, cutting and welding the straight pipe together. Short video clip. CLICK LINK. https://youtu.be/P17LbbgotUs Resulting in this. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds A load of jiggery pokerey and push and pulling later, Nick extended the over axle exhaust section as it became apparent that the anticipated route of the pipe was not ideal when I realised it could go over the rear shock and axle, not between them. Having cut the straight pipe to accommodate the bend in the initial position it now needed about 50mm added onto it to reach the straight sleeve. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds In the mean time I found some 12mm rod to add to the chassis and exhaust to fit the rubber hangers to. Some serious bending and banging later these went on. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Both done, a few more to make up. Time thieves, but they all need making up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Some tight spot grinding, and welding. All good fun ehhh? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Getting us to this point. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Now the next hour or so was spent along with other bits of time, trying to make the rear box @kevins had donated, fit in the space available as a side exit was also out the question. In the end I decided to order a shorter, 315mm long, 2 inch exit/entry rear box from Jetex on Ebay, in black so it blends. Another £50.00 scattered to the hobby gods. Delivery expected Thursday. Hopefully cutting and shaping the over axle pipe to get it shorter and mounted higher won’t take half a day, and then the box and a tip attached to the rear as well as the hanging brackets that need to be individually made and shaped before welding them on. Once we had the car off the axle stands where it had lived the last week, I measured the lowest point on the exhaust with two passengers loaded and like the front crossmember it came to 90mm or 3 inches. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Seemed pretty low………. BUT Looking at the year 2000 Mazda MX5 dimensions it seems it was a low car to start with. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds 4 day week this week. Day job squarely in the way of fun, but have bought 4 more exhaust hanger rubbers and a couple of other small jobs to fit in after hours. More about them later. Thanks for checking in and posting your replies, opinions, and advice. Much appreciated. |

Badges.
Remember them. Covered in floor polish, crazy? Seems not. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Last night I also added the second layer of scrim foam. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Tonight I cut it back and then trimmed the edges. Next stop will be the black vinyl. Fingers crossed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Also yesterday, I went to JWE engineering to see about having a Custom propshaft made up. Mazda one side, Ford on the other. Around £200.00 and I supply the MX5 propshaft to have a Ford back end added on. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So I measured it and delivered ‘them today. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Turn around time could be 2-3 days .the differential flange uses bolts, screwed into it. Weird size that I cannot readily buy off the shelf is a collared, M10 x 1 and 18mm long bolt. So need to get four of these high tensile bolts. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I continue to be amazed by some vendors on Ebay. On Monday evening I ordered this silencer. Delivered before midday today. Service. Compared to the unit @kevins gave me, this is a bit shorter and smaller. Just hope it all fits neatly. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Last bit of delivery pleasure today was the stick on number plate to go on the rear. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds This will fit in above the fuel filler toolbox and next to the rear lights. . |

Small parcel in the mail yesterday.
Thanks again @peteh1969 for making the effort for a total stranger. I suspect many of you can guess where the name badge is headed. The RocketPigs are actually left handers, or mirror images of the ones I painted before. My mild OCD asked for them to all be pointing forward and Pete was kind enough to print off a new set. Also included was the cars name. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I managed to snap one on trying to straighten it out gently, so added automotive double sided tape to fix it to the toolbox on tje rear. Than followed up with black paint all over. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Then 4 very light coatings of silver chrome paint. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Once fitted to the rear of the Rezin Rockit they will be fixed to it. But before that I need to paint the background out in black to allow the letters to “pop” https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds While I was down there, I decided to give vinyl covering the first kick panel a go. Contact adhesive, light pressure, new Stanley knife blade and away we go. Curve done first, many cuts to allow the best stretching and shaping on the curve. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Job completed, well, first panel done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And fitted. Yes, I know…... Loads more to get done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds If the rest of the vinyl comes out this well, I will be very pleased. Weekend tomorrow. Lots to do. |

WHEN YOU CAN SMELL A PICTURE.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Don’t you just love a 48 hour turnaround. Called in at JWE Engineering [a href”https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...7fD0BeoUt8]JWE Engineering[/a] Dropped off my two prop-shafts and measurements and less than 48 hrs later they called me back to say I can come collect. £200.00 including the four special M10x1 18mm shouldered bolts later and I was on my way to a work meeting. Great to get it on a Friday so @nickwheeler and I can have a test fit later today. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Back home I had a chance to take a look. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Happy with that. Black, new parts. Shiny. |

Later. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And the highlight of my day. No words needed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Gutted and super angry with allowing myself to get distracted like this. The instructions were so clearly written on both sides. I guess happens to some of us. I did laugh and laugh. Tired tonight. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
So yesterday the other TWO BIG BOXES TICKED.
One was the new custom built Propshaft, bolted in after I cleaned the threads on the diff flange. Simple cheque book job, but pivotal. Really does make it look more complete under there. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Second job was to complete (bar two small chassis hanger bracket welds I have to go do in a bit) the exhaust build, using the shorter new silencer I bought last week. @nickwheeler and I have had very few differences of opinion on this build, which is probably why we are both still enjoying it, and each other’s company HOWEVER Nick is a more oldskool rodder at heart, and prefers things simple, monochrome, hidden and functional. Me on the other hand………. Saddle up that unicorn 🦄 So I like a chrome tipped exhaust system, slightly noisy, and things like the toolbox filler and a spanner hanging from the towball. Get the picture? So this is Nick’s Nirvana and my chalk on a blackboard look. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Tucked away, out of sight and only a curved downpipe would suit Nick. I wanted a chrome tailpiece to end right in line with the rear bumper. So in order to achieve both our goals…… you see, compromise. The over axle/shock pipe needed to be raised by 70mm and tucked back toward the axle by 100mm to get the tip in under the bumper. So measuring, cutting, and welding the exit at a different height and plane needed to be done. And if you recall my screw up with the kick panel vinyl yesterday, Nick managed to do it as well…….. 25mm on the wrong side, only thing is, his mistake was on the safe side, so he could cut another 25mm off to get it to the right point for welding up. And he got it spot on, after the powerfile was employed, you can hardly see it under there unless it was pointed out. Bloody brilliant. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Next job was to create a a double ended hanger bracket to secure the silencer to the chassis/rear bumper. Some 12mm rod, BFH, a pole and the grinder with some welds later…… https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Tacked in place because the welder started to play up, not giving decent penetration. I will weld it in as soon as I have done this write up, everything takes time. Also in the shortening and raising was actually cutting off 60mm of the bent pipe, where it is flared, then welding a slip in section from a Metro Cat-back pipe that then sleeved into the silencer. A big win for fitting and reducing overall length. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Hangers test fitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And the side view with the rear wheel removed shows how well this all came out. Once on the ground with the wheel fitted it was even more stealthy and tidy. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds After refitting the wheel, getting it off the axle stands and rolling it out, Nick was very pleased with the stealth look. I was looking for a chrome 2” tip to add to the rear…… you know, a bit of contrast 😉 It may just have to stay like this, however, a BLACK rolled tip would be on my shopping list next to tidy the rear tip slightly. Nick won this one. Chuffed to bits. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So tools packed away by 7.00pm and pulled the car back under cover, using the gearbox to stop it. For the first time since this build started it was not held in place by a block of wood. John the lodger did the honours. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Right, time to get started out there. Handbrake, Electrics, tow hitch wiring on the menu today. Not quite ready to start up. Oh, and clutch and brakes need more work. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
One of those parts seemingly not easy to buy off the shelf.
Brake reservoir for the car. @glenanderson came up trumps with this gem. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I also managed to stick weld upside down to a questionable standard if it were a trade test, however, it will hold. For a long time. Splatter still burns and getting started does involve swearing. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Love the positioning. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Bit of paint. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds That is the exhaust system, gasket in, bolted down all the way. Next job. |

I was sorry to see you weren't happy with the extravagantly finished back side of the passenger kick panel. You do know that if you changed the Rocket to US spec, your work on the "passenger" kick panel would fit just fine, haha, but the nice driver side one you already did would have nowhere to go. Hey, the exhaust came out nice. Very tidy installation. And I understand the understated versus the ornamented look. |

Still, anyone who can use it, it free to collect and have it. The kick panel is a small enough price to pay the gods of inconvenience. . 3 2 1 And it is Monday again. Another day of stuff getting done. I removed the self destruct button from the rear that fascinated a few people. Suspect it was an alarm switch attached to the monitoring of the original rear mounted spare wheel. Filled all the holes on the rear too with a fiber resin mix. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Nick got going on threading the rear wiring, and managed to get them the wrong way round, soon fixed by removing and refitting correctly. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Some of the lines are not yet live due in part to his over eager stripping back of the loom. But should get a fix next weekend. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Due to the situation of the MX5 fuel tank, directly behind the drivers seat, we were concerned that this loom may need extending by 150-300mm Glad to report that a big Whooooop ! From under the car signified the moment Nick got that wired in without the need for extending. This is a big win and having everything fit safe and loosely under the rear floor was always planned, hence me dropping the tank lower by 50mm when I added the tabs. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds During the day I removed the lifting straps, cleared out some of the materials in the carport and did a bunch of little odd jobs that need doing. Looks tidy and like a real car under there now. Glare does not allow a decent picture to be taken. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Also did final fit for the fuel filler toolbox and bolted that down. And mocked up the license plate. Happy with that. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Still a ton of small jobs to get done like adding fiberglass and resin to the floor for reinforcement Final fitting of the seats once they go back in. Lights, dash upholstery and other panels, plus a final decision on heater blower vents and pipework. And then some more bits. Have a good week. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Remember the blower/heater unit built and fitted a while ago?
I need to finalise and button that up. Went to the scrapyard yesterday and did not find the ideal donor, but a corrugated vacuum cleaner pipe could just work. Also found these two damaged, but neat toys (ornaments) for sale at £5.00 each. And when I got home I pushed the car out into the sunlight for a better pic of the rear end. Not perfect, but better. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds . |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Yesterday evening, Mickey came knocking.
He had a parcel, and a silly grin. The man is nosey. Once I got the parcel, I started to chuckle and laugh. I had a few people spring to mind who could have sent it, appropriately decorated with an apology. @pedalcarjoe @sparkplug Fil who fetched the car @peteh1969 and even @mercdan68 who drives past my home every day, but may have sent a parcel. The guy I did not at all have spring to mind first was @glenanderson https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So when I opened the box, out popped an unobtainable brake reservoir for the master cylinder previously fitted. Thanks Glen ! Massive help this is, again because I could not order one anywhere. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I will clean it up some time after work and have it ready to install by the weekend along with the brake pipes for the front end. Progress is progress, however little it is. |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
This week I capitulated and bought George some dry food.
He usually gets ham or chicken when he visits in the morning, and Dreamies when he demands it. There is water in the water feature and the bird bath has fresh water regularly, and he drinks from there. So today was a work from home day, and he got a handful of the dry food early. Later I saw him from my office, drinking from the lodgers bathroom toilet. Guess it passed his muster. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I certainly would not. More randomness, this time the scrapyard had these broken toys (perfect garage ornaments) for £5.00 each. I have not bought them. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Sally and I go walk Bonnie the dog randomly on the farm through fields etc. I was previously asked about where I live, Between the Thames and Medway rivers and English Channel. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds |
Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
So the next little win was cleaning up the brake reservoir.
Anyone look inside one before? It is a serious labyrinth of inaccessible walls. So I thought I would try various different things to clean it the best I can. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Petrol and brush, wash and rinse failed. Jif/Handy Andy/amonia based kitchen cleaner failed. Bleach failed. Hot water and bleach failed. Then popped to Mickey next door and grabbed some sharp sand (Google it) and added it, along with Fairy Liquid dish washing liquid and some water to create a thick gloopy paste and shook it around for a bit. After this a thourough multiple rinse gave me the result I had hoped for. Almost looks like new. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Should blend in nicely with the rest of the clean and new parts. . |
