Ok, as I've only joined up here during the week I thought I'd reveal my little 33.
She's 1970 and a 6 volt ( not sure what this will be like as I've never owned a 6v car before this ).
Anyhow, I'm slowly getting her back to life and hopefully out on the road as it's been 5 years since I bought her and she was parked up for years and years before that.. Years and years is a technical term clearly. Similar to saying it's been parked up for yonks.
It's actually been off the road that long she wasn't on the DVLNI system and I had to take her to an MOT station for them to check she was real.
This week I have learned how to take the engine out due to a starting problem ( an evening's work so I thought that was ok for a beginner )
I have had her clutch shoes relined and I learned how to fit a rear crank seal today. Next up is to have a go at the front seal as the engine is out and then some tidying up of the ( used to be ) painted bits before I reinstall the powerplant.
Anyhow I will update my adventures as I go along.
Marty

I figured as there are 2 sites and some seem to use one or the other and maybe some use both that I would put up a wee thread on each site just to be sure. At least folk what my Daf looks like now I guess.
Yes, I have been offered theuse of a mig Nick. But I've not gotten near it yet. It's a big mig with a great big bottle of argonshield on the end. I'm gona check the right settings etc for working on light metal and hopefully do things right.
The plan is once I've the front oil seal done I can make a start on the welding / painting bits. I've tried coming up with mental images of repairs pieces I need to cut out / renew.
I will keep you informed of when I'm at that stage and no doubt ask for advice

Does anyone have any basic tips for removing a front wing? Or is it a case of just cutting it off? I'm wanting to replace a front wing or both. I have sourced two replacements . Thanks

It's just a case of mechanically wire brushing to expose the spot welds then drilling them out,
that will release the old, and the new can be tacked on after LOADS of fiddly alignment.
Even if you don't use a proper spot weld drill you can fill the holes with weld then grind to shape.
