Rover p6b restoration

Thought i would refit the sender unit before it gets damaged and was planning on doing a bit of welding but ran out if gas so started stripping back inside the boot so i can repaint soon.IMG_20210424_184843_077.jpgIMG_20210424_184843_085.jpg

Finally finished the last small bits if welding at the rear then epoxy primed the boot before painting in gravitex.
Also flated out the roof and epoxy primed ready for the new vinyl.

Then turned it round so i can start on the few bits of welding and massive engine bay clean and paint after ive fitted the roof.

Hopefully get the rear window in next week then get on with any welding in the engine bay
 
Haven't been doing much but have started trial fitting some panels as not using many that were on there.IMG_20210602_141435_606.jpgIMG_20210602_141435_600.jpgIMG_20210602_141435_611.jpg
The lower rear wing mount on the o/s needed a little persuasion to get the wing to sit right with the boot

Yesterday i swapped the pedal box over to the manual s setup and made a bracket for the master Cylinder. 20210605_174044.jpg20210605_150852.jpg20210605_174115.jpg
 
Good job on the pedal box, there are a lot of people who make the conversion who would benefit from the video.

Not sure if you had any photos of the original S mounting, I have my clutch cylinder off so had a look and took a few photos. The original was just a thin strip of metal. You might need to trim the top of your mounting to clear the steering arm.

I didnt have any photos of the original bracket but mine is fairly similar.
It is close to the steering arm but not touching but like you say might be worth trimming it down.
Is the reserve tap bracket just slightly further down as cant quite make it out in the photos.
 
Few more bits welded in the engine bay.
Not much more welding now except an unexpected bit in the front right hand corner where its been badly repaired in the past and caked with underseal to hold it together.

The inner wing has been repaired badly and isn't even attached to the headlight splash panel.
Is some rot in it anyway so will cut out and rebuild20210712_145122.jpg20210712_145134.jpg20210712_145140.jpg
 
After many many hours and much scraping I've removed the rest of the underseal and now all coated in red oxide and seam sealed any appropriate areas.IMG_20210804_172240_676.jpg20210801_121407.jpg20210801_121401.jpg20210821_144402.jpg20210821_144411.jpg
