What have you done to or with your LWT today??

Folded some sheet steel to make some foot wells for another lightweight project. I got the sheets guillotined the right size from the steel stock holders as they do 10 free cuts per order.
Firstly the two foot wells became one as I tacked them together so each fold did both.

One more picture split them apart and did the cutouts for the door pillars

I could of bought the footwells but I didn’t want all the standard holes for the throttle linkages etc as I’m putting a td5 in.
A 2m x 1m sheet of 1.2mm zintec was £67 delivered with all the cuts, less than the price of 2 footwells. Thought the sheet metal practice would be more beneficial so I got the main panel above the footwells, a piece to make the dash box, 2 drip trays and enough of cuts to make other parts. Just had to buy a pair of hinge panels and the inner footwell panels either side of the tunnel as they were a reasonable price off fleebay instead of making them.
Just need to add a stiffener for the pedal boxes and make the holes.

I'm new to Lightweight ownership, and I'm doing as much research as I can to get my vehicle correct. Really appreciate your help in the forum. Currently removing and refurbishing the instrument panels. Light panel first on the list.

Heater completed, main panel next on the list.

Good evening. I hope all forum members are well.

First day on the road for many months. Clean, dry and salt free. Started off the key. Transfer, OD and main box oils drained and renewed. Fresh oil, filters and props greased.
Running well and quiet.

Finished painting my rusty old ebay passenger side fuel tank ready for installation. Gave the old girl a bit of a polish . Again. Well there was nothing on telly so what's a bloke to do..

[Day VG]

After a slow restoration to get the old girl back on the road I finally put my LWT in for a speculative Roadworthy (MOT) test to see what I'd need to do to get a pass and she passed first time!

I'm not sure whether me or the tester were more surprised. Got her registered and on the road at long last, so now out enjoying the last of the Autumn sun here before continuing the rolling restoration.
