Well done. Great car in great hands.
Subscribed thread.

 

There's something about the car without rear fenders... I like it.

 

I'm impressed! Nice work. If it had been me I would have gone looking for another Zepher to get a top transplant.

Hah! "Spats!"

Yeah, the Queen's English has its oddities.

great stuff mate , your a brave guy lol

 

Incredible work and great job fixing the roof and door tops. Amazing how screwed up the original was, and how nice your repairs are. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more progress pictures.

 

Looks great Man!

 

Wow can't wait to see it done!

 

Subscribe! WOW Great Stuff.

 

nice work on that top.

 

Very impressive work.

 

Nice job!

 

Great work , the roof looks great , Looks like you are the right guy to save this rare car.

 

I'm getting into the detail work now and some rust repairs which all take time and don't look like much.
I finished patching the back window.

Did the door garnish moulds and filled the holes in the window frame so they can be painted instead of upholstery.

Made new top hinge bolt plates and moved them in an 1/8" to align the doors.

Welded some round along the front of the doors to close the gap and repair the rust in the bottoms.

Cheers Steve

 

When you get to rear window glass the 40 ford seals are better than the zephyr

 

I love to recieve the hamb's app update on this thread!

 

Kinda AKA Terry Cooks "Scrape"???

 

Magic. You touch the metal and magic happens. Amazing. I hope you can teach someone how you do it.

 

Wow!

Thanks Guy's,
Hi Don I looked at doing hands on classes, but the insurance was over $3K so that is on the back burner. If you sign on to ozrodders website and search oztinbasher posts you will find alot of how to threads on making panels.Here are a couple.

I have done some more on the Zephyr , all the guards are repaired, garnish moulds cut down,and a fair few rust repairs, nothing major. Also had to make a front roll pan.

 

I started making a grill out of stainless bar. I had to make a roller with a groove in it , to stand the bars on there edge.


They have been sent to the polisher.

 

Awesome

 

Really a great save. Very nice craftsmanship!

 

Lookin good

I'm getting to the end of my part on the Zephyr, I finished the tailpan and I just need to fit the Kazier bumper over rider.

I also fitted the spatts, had to recontour the wheel arches.


And the bars for the grill came back from the polisher, so I made the first grill.




Cheers Steve.
