I think i say i can Mig weld now. So i brought a tig welder to master. Its a ACDC Square wave machine with 210 amps. Hoping when i master it will help to make some custom bit for the car.

I find alu welding easy but having trobble with normal steel

Got door handels and locks in

Rubber seals in

Doors wont shut and well out of alignment with seal on. Hinge ajustment i take it

I assume it will be the area where the 2 seals overlap at the top leading edge of the door thats your problem. Forces the opposite corner to sit proud i.e. bottom trailing edge.

1st, dont even bother until the windows are fitted as the door is to floppy without the 1/4 light.

Once that is in, i "adjusted" the overlap are of the door with a hammer to increase the clearance. Antons suggestion that one

My doors fit perfectly now.

May be my post wasn't clear, but it was the lower trailing edge on mine that stuck out - until i adjusted it. Pics?

sorry now the penny has droped

hit inside of door where seals are to make more space for seals.

That will bring the trailing edge in good think

Thanks Roger will do.

Engine block 440

Bore to 30 over still needs a honing big ends are billet Keith Black maincaps block has been lined bored.

Plan is to go 8:1 compression and install a blower.

This is not going to happen over night due to $$$$$

But should be nice when finshed.

Dont have anything internal as of yet still looking shopping around.

trying to work out if im up to building it myself

You are always busy!
Good for you... I am jealous of your quality of work and the pace of it.
Well done, keep it up.

Great stuff Will.

The general consensus is that you bore with torque plates, but if you've already done it, don't worry!
