Spring hanger area behind the seat





19 May 2007

Hello, I'm In Qingdao this week so even less work done on the car. Qingdao is the home of Tsingtao beer, brewed since 1903, and where the sailing part of the Olympic games will be held. (Qingdao and Tsingtao are pronounced Ching-dow.)

More history of Jamima. The spring hanger area was the main reason for the last MOT failure in 1996. As can be seen we were probably lucky to have got that far.

The more I poked the more dust and fresh air was found. I was having difficulty deciding which bits to cut out and how to start the repair as there was little that would remain original.

The sill were fitted first, then the floor, then the triangular section was built up using the spring mount as a means of aiding alignment
Very satisfying once completed.

Time for another Tsingtao beerCheers.
