Things have been slow for a while as we've been really busy with bits and bobs, The car has been painted once already......BUT it was the wrong colour by a few shade's and it reacted in certain places so it has all been sanded down and were about ready to go again!! Not a great feeling sanding off £80 worth of paint but hey ho!!
While the weather has been pants we've cracked on with the interior, new drivers seat has been fitted along with some new (to the car) carpet, a clock has been fitted and all works (Thanks David) and the wooden door caps have been sanded down due to the varnish peeling off and cracked, they have been re-varnished and fitted (thanks Dollyboy for the varnish info)
The one job I wasn't looking forward to was the bulkhead bush, but it has been replaced with a new one, it went better than expected with us completing the job in just over 90min, didn’t help that the steering linkage was solid!! Also a new Column adjuster has been fitted so we no have an adjustable column!!!!
The body work has been DA'ed down (again) and the car is sitting in the garage all masked up awaiting paint!! We’ve decided to paint the whole car and have had the paint mixed to the original Damson colour using the original colour mix ST17.
While im waiting iv been busy with Dave's 1500 TC, see the project Patch thread!!
Photo's as always!!
New clock, keeping good time!!
New seat and door cards refitted with " New" Cappings
looking sorry for herself, the dark patches on the doors are the original paint comming through you can also see the difference between the roof colour and doors, showing how far off the new paint was in terms of colour match!!
