88 WCM GN RESTORATION

[bentley marshall]

I thought i would start a resto topic for my car
the owner befor me had a chain saw motor in it and a vbelt drive and hes lost a few dive parts and allso cut a few bars out to fit the motor he had and allso moved the rear swayu bar tube
I will be puting it back to factory and doing a full rebuild ..
heres what i have to work with

[bentley marshall]

got some time over the week end to do soem work on the car
striped off the paint on the rear 1/2 of the chassis cleaned up rount where soem bars had been removed and cut some new bars to replace them
will hopefully get them welded on this week

Are you silver brazing it?

[bentley marshall]

the rest of the chassis is brazed so i will braze the new pipes back in too

[bentley marshall]

just a up date on how this is going the chassis tubes have been welded in and is all striped ready for paint the chassis was white but was thinking of doing it red

was the colour important i see a lot of the chassis are black or red ...what the go with wcm chassis colour were they all the same colour or could you order any colour when they were new ????

ive allso got some some parts off mike (thanks mike) to finish the car back to how it was

will post some more pics soon

Thanks for the up dates!

I wonder what the ratio of frames are welded or brazed?

I thought of brazing these new frames we are making, but wanted the strength of the wire weld.

i gess the tig welding would be stronger but this car was made back in the 80's and it stillok and seems to be strong so i gess its up to you ...
