Upgrades to the ol' Mk1

[mburger]

Through this forum, I am familiar by name only with more than a handful of talented expert builders
I am fortunate to live near Henry (65 Cobra Dude) and to have gotten to know him.

I spent several months collecting parts and now my ol' Mk1 that I sometimes refer to as the pig, is at his place for some upgrades.
Henry is doing a 5 lug conversion, rear coil over swap, installing the LED headlights from Mark at Breeze Automotive, door adjustments and a 4 wheel disc brake conversion.
I decided to leave the spring tubes - or whatever they are called, on the car. Not worth Henry's effort to remove them and they are not in the way.
His knowledge and attention to detail is impressive and I am very appreciative of the work he does on my car.
If he's willing, I have a top end engine upgrade in the future. :D

Old wheels and new on their way to get removed/mounted with new 15" FFR Halibrands.

Henry's experience and skill saw this issue. Concentric rings were ordered from Mike Forte.

That is great list of upgrades. I will say that when I cut off my spring tubes I was amazed how easy it was. It is thin metal. A recipricating saw w/ a metal blade had them off in about 3 minutes.

Thanks for the kudos Mark. Your car is an excellent example of a MK1 and I enjoy working on her.
