Title: After 30 years Morris Parry's platform chassis rolls Post by: DavidLaver on 20 September, 2015, 08:21:00 PM In ten days James has pulled his dad's platform chassis out the shed, made and welded in floors and all sorts else, painted and fitted up and now it rolls: Mostly updates are on his personal and business pages but just in case here are both: https://www.facebook.com/Minera-tyres-239230576101344/timeline/ https://www.facebook.com/jamespazparry Title: Re: After 30 years Morris Parry's platform chassis rolls Post by: Dilambdaman on 21 September, 2015, 09:27:00 AM Miss very much James' posts on the Forum, so much interesting and valuable stuff lost to the LMC website - suppose I'll have to give in and join Facebook :(
Robin. P.S. Is there any way he could link his facebook posts to the Forum? Title: Re: After 30 years Morris Parry's platform chassis rolls Post by: DavidLaver on 21 September, 2015, 02:24:39 PM I thought you'd be able to at least see the photos without a login. Is that not so? Maybe I'll have to upload some highlights here... James is much missed - but having "gone pro" its a tough line to walk on a forum and I've seen enough get it wrong to respect his choice.

Shouldn't be a problem seeing the facebook photos as I looked at them without having to sign on, I don't have, nor itend to have a Facebook account, however much Lancia related stuff there is on there.

Of course axles ready to go, bolts and bushes made up etc etc but all the same what an achievement in ten days with the structural work done I think by the end of day four...

Is this the point where we find out if James is as much of an artist in wood as he is in steel?
Title: Re: After 30 years Morris Parry's platform chassis rolls Post by: DavidLaver on 23 September, 2015, 08:58:58 PM This is what they're aiming for. I expect it will be Morris not James making the frame.
