The chassis of the heinkel once Steve welded it up for us, and also after it was under sealed. With the new brake lines fitted. :D ;D
-
The body with most of the major dents taken out and half primed ;D
-
Ah some progress at last then. When you say Steve welded it , is that our Mr Fisk? Looks a strong job.
Your Bushes will be posted tomorrow morning. Lets hope you will be driving a proper bubble car soon. Gineta's. landrovers, what ever next! :D
-
Great to see progress!
-
Wish I had that kind of space to work in!
-
The floor covered in anti rust paint, and some more of the body work done. ;D ;D
-
Forgive my ignorance is that Edwins old bright Green one ?
-

-
ah thats one i dont know then - looking good . do we take it the photo's date of 2006 are not correct then ;)
-

-
I welded it for them , I booked a day off work to go and help out , was nice to have abit of a change , fully seam welded and solid chassis now , keep up the good work !
-
The new steering bush fits like a glove! ;) ;D
-
That will be the one I sent you - Bob will have sent the other two economy :)
-
yep, that is correct! ;)
-
The boot and body in primer, only the door to go ;D ;D ;D
-

-
The shell is complete and finished in primer , not prefect but a thousand times better than it was before we started! ;D
-
The front axle is back together with all the new bushes in place. ;D ;D
-
Dose any one know what color grey the pedal box should be, and what grey should the reflector surrounds be? ;D
-
Trust you have a steel one, as nice though those shed doors are, the Countryman effect is not really very practical. ;D
-
looking at your pics and suggestions are you going for grey everything ? perhaps seat covers in a light and dark grey ? i always had the pedal box a black gloss with the big pale blue ATE sticker next the brake cylinder , reflector surrounds ? do you mean back lights ?? plain silver on mine . i believe i had them both correct but ......
-
very nice and tidy project
-
We got our new brake lines today, and I believe they are off of a mica or something like that. They only cost £8.50 each! ;D

Rear lights are indeed silver and were originally painted rather poorly. Easy to improve on that. The master cylinder cover is commonly painted black but I think in the 175 was grey to match the leading edge of the vinyl on the seat and grey coated millboard interior panels. The steering column and such not being black either in this case. The seat itself would be vinyl and rexene for very early cars, giving way to a sort of cross hatched cloth in a background weave, not dissimilar to the Nobel but of more muted hues, to match the body colour. It would think your car would use this as would mine being near crossover to 200cc. It was NOT tartan. My own car has optional extra Lizard skin interior, a bit of an acquired taste but it goes with the other bling on the car.
-
would you agree a that the colour of the heinkel is dark turquoise? or would you know another colour that is similar? :o ;D
-
Mine is the same as Sea Green for NSU of the time. That could be called Turquoise. In some cases touch up paint is NSU paint tins with an overlabel for Trojan. A crafty bit of later marketing.
-
Paint suppliers can colour match if you have a panel with some of the original paint.
-
Sorry for the delay, i have been very busy recently as i have just started collage. but we should be back on track now. so what has happened? We have the front axle on and the front brakes together, the steering rack is back on and all the little bits have been painted. :) ;) :) :)
-

-
That's really nice! Quite uncommon in good condition too , do you have the whole set of panels ? Nice to see the progress Jamie
-

I have all the panels, some were ripped and badly damaged but we restored them the best we can and they don't look to bad. ;D
