The Little White Tolly

[Lord Tolly]

Mmm sounds interesting, would set the chrone off nicely

[Toledo Man]

It wouldn't be the LWT any more if you painted it that colour. It would have to be the LGT.

Let's see some piccies.

Only kidding re: green

Looks like I will be going for Jaguar Lavender Blue. Have always loved that colour and it is fairly understated.

Glenn, have you still got the Tolly door card for the rear door?

[Lord Tolly]

Yes ken I did forgot to mention It was on the old crispy doors, also have a spare winder as well

[Purplebargeken]

Great. Thanks Glenn. I will have a little chat with Gary and see what can be sorted. I've put a wanted ad out as two handles are needed.

Starting to strip a few little bits and bobs off. Starting with the sills upwards this time.

[Lord Tolly]

Great to hear you have made a start

Don't forget pictures

The doors in the garage are complete the crispy original has the winder on still

[Purplebargeken]

Will do mate.

Cheers

Nice day weather-wise, so the work begins:

Front and rear O/S doors taken off.

Electric file used to grind away the crud on the A pillar

Knotted wire wheel utilised to remove the many layers of paint on the sill, part of the rear arch and door shuts. 90% done before the call to lunch.

Very little grot identified other than some small perforations around the A pillar. This was anticipated. All else is sound so far. No piccies as I forgot to charge my camera. Whoops.

Cracking work Ken

Can't wait to see her when she is finished

[Purplebargeken]

Cheers Glenn, once i've got all of that side down to bare metal I will rust kill it all, fill what needs filling and give it a couple of coats of red oxide.

A sanding session will then ensue and a couple of coats of grey primer should see it all prepped for the top coat. I will then start on the door inner sections. This will give the paint time to harden properly before I refit the door. Am trying to be more methodical this time. All the tricky bits first, then the bigger sections.

I plan to vinyl wrap the roof and possibly the bonnet. Looking at carbon fibre I suppose for simplicity.

Pics will follow

[Purplebargeken]

Glenn, looks like it's me, you and Dave keeping this thread going. The forum is a much quieter place, or so it seems.

Anyway, hoping to get piccies later today.

[Lord Tolly]

Goody

I like photos

[Purplebargeken]

Pics taken but can't find my bloody camera cable, grrrrrrrrr.

[Purplebargeken]

Still no lead, so a verbal description will have to suffice for now. More paint stripping occurred and the sill itself and the lower panel on the front O/S wing are super duper. There is at worst a little bit of dimpling here and there which may require the lightest smearing of filler to eradicate. Am I happy? Oh yes. Even the rear arch is solid.

[Lord Tolly]

Good news Ken

When you hoping to get her painteda
