U.K blumo

[christine58]

O.K, since I've been here for a while pestering people for parts and help it's only right to show where the parts have gone!! Been meaning to post some pics of my bluemo for ages. Still a little work in progress. I would like to find a 74 interior but it not going to happen here in the U.K so the 75 will do.











Couldn't find any decent 74 fenders so just the 'caps' were purchased from rusty ones then grated onto my 75 royal fenders. Front end completely cleaned/rustproofed.

Here we find the 75 royal bumper mounts are longer than non royal ones!!

Solution, cut and weld the 'shocks' up!!



At this point in time she is sitting outside 'weathering' nicely I will get some complete finished shots soon.

Looks great!! How hard was it grafting the front of the base fenders onto the royal fenders? Seems I'm gonna have to do this with my drivers side.

Do you have any pictures of the process?

Yeah some nice work here, Dean ...



First time I've seen that I think. Thanks for the update!

Looks like American cars are fond of your residence. Nice Blumo project.

Really nice! Looks good without the marker btw.

Did you find the ac wire or did the bicycle shop manufacture it?

A quick update on this on going project as they are never really finished!! I've had the craig S601 for almost 2 1/2 years in our bedroom and today finally its found its proper home!! I also dug out the proper 140 speedo and fitted that. This has been hanging around for a year or so too!! Amazing how 'life' gets in the way of car time



Next job is to try and sort the interior, its usable but the seat is tatty and obviously the wrong color. The annoying thing isthe 77 gran fury i brought a few months ago has the correct front seat and the short front door window trims!!!

- Dang, these pics aren't loading for me.



* Ahh there we go.

The Craig 8-track and the C-body itself have something in common ... they both look STOUT, lol. It's just such a solid looking unit that Craig. Great work getting the 14o speedo and the 8-track in place, awesome Blumo upgrades!!
