Hey all, Have taken all the floor panels, and the seat box off ready to remove the gearbox to rebuild, should be out this afternoon. (Looks like I may have to remove the exhaust to do so).
After taking all the panels off tho. I was faced with a rather crusty looking footwell that has been welded up rather badly! So I have potentially given myself another job. Which is to remove the bulkhead and get that worked on (galved etc.)
So a few questions.
Firstly when I drained the oil out of the gearbox i found a few broken bits of metal about 15x5mm, very thin, could this be the cause of not being able to engage first gear?
Secondly whilst I have this section of chassis exposed I want to clean it up properly and and paint it. Is it possible to paint it any colour I want and just spray the clear waxoyl over it. Also I want to do inside the box sections, Do I just get the waxoyl spray and pump it in?
Thirdly with the bulkhead being rather crusty, I want to ideally take the bulkhead out. What's the minimum number of pieces that I need to remove to do this. This is being done outside the house on the side of the road (no alternatives unless someone kindly has a garage in the east london area :-P) So The only cover it will have will be a tarp to keep the weather off it.
Probably will have a few more questions later but thanks in advance.
Nick
