Also I would like to thank the team of workers at the workshop who have toiled and worked hard in the peak of the summer months to bring the vehicle in the current state. Let me explain Aman Ahluwalia of Auto Attitudes for Amazingly Awesome work. I whole heartedly salute AA of AA for AA. It was a very long and tedious job and I am very sure that no one else could have pulled it off. ![]() Now the tinkering (denting work) completed, the time had come for the final preparation of the body with the body filler.įor once I am thankful for the heat in Delhi as who need the heaters of the paintbooth to dry when god himself has made the entire north as a natural heater. The mounts of the older engine sit way at the back and the new ones a little further up towards the radiator. Pictures of the tinkering work in progressĪlso another major thing that needed to be changed were the engine mounts. One of them were all the fender flares along with the base thats welded onto the body ![]() Pictures of the the rally cabin now mounted on the vehicle,Īs said earlier, a lot of body parts were changed. The new front hoot 'bonnet' purchased as the originally the vehicle was a MG410 and the old bonnet had to be replaced. The preparation of the body so that the vehicle could be put onto the paint job.Īs always this post will be more of pics, so here goes Now the body work being completed the time was coming closer for the next phase. In the following pic me and my friends can be seen have a go in the, well I leave you guys to complete the most appropriate set of words to describe it…Īs in the previous update one could have seen the battered condition the vehicle was in and painstakingly it was being restored back to its original shape. This is a picture of the double shock setup that generally rally prepared gypsys run on, The battery mount had to be completely re-fabricated, some pics The floor of the body tub (drivers side, passenger, loading area, etc) Work progressing on the running boards, engine Bay area, side panels, etc Once the work on the underside was completed, it was time to pay attention on the other body panels. Part of the delay was that we all got busy in Desert Storm 2011 in which, naturally everyone was involved. Now when the body was removed from the chassis and the pictures of the preparation of the chassis were uploaded in the previous posts the big task of the battered body work are in enclosed in this update.Īlso to be noted that thought I am updating the entire set of pictures in one post, this entire job took well over 2 whole months to complete. ![]() I would try to the best of my knowledge to answer your queries.

And last but not the least obviously, the Chassis :P.Body Shell from the MG410, However we bought a new bonnet.Brake Hub (one side, Right or left I do not remember).4x4 transfer case (from a MG413) Didnt use the old one as I have another project that's on the cards.Complete MPFI Engine + Alternator + Starter motor.The parts that we had to source old are as follows and the reason of buying these from the scrap market as opposed to new ones was that new parts were working out to be really really expensive. There are loads of parts that are being replaced in the vehicle and leaving aside the following, we have tried to buy all the parts as brand new. I have done a package deal with him for the entire vehicle. I have had no luck finding it in Chennai.Īll the spare parts are being bought by Aman Ahluwalia.
