In my previous post, I showed how the whole chassis had to be dis-assembled one last time to be re-primed with several coats of epoxy primer. In most of those photos, the chassis had no rear bulkhead. Then in the last two photos, the new bulkhead was starting to take shape. Here are a few more details of that process:

Hello world!
September 24, 2010This is my first post. I have no idea what I am doing, yet. My intention is to keep my friends posted on the progress of the restoration of this 1963 Elva Courier Mk3 from basketcase condition to a vintage racer. Please let me know if anything looks amiss, because I am constantly making changes.
My name is Andy Rich. I’m an engineer who is building a vintage race car, actually rebuilding one, which happens to have been built in the same year I was born — 1963. Coincidentally, this car is chassis number 1063. I have been a British car restoration specialist for about 20+ years, but this is the most extensive project I have ever done.
Here are some photos of the current state of affairs:
Things are getting messy
