The magic continues!

Image

Eagle-eyed toby then spotted this up inside the OSF wing...

Image

which looked a little different to the NS

Image

On investigation it looked to be a period repair, just not a great one...

Image

Paint being applied

Image

but repairs continue

Image

Image

Next up are repairs to the holes in the A-pillars...

Where the nearside started

Image

New metal being prepped

Image

It looks as if somebody has painted this area before...

Can never get tired of following a resto, especially Dolomites!

More work has been taking place on the OS A-post and pillar

Image

Closer examination shows that storing stuff on top of the bonnet for years has deformed the reinforcement panel. What techniques have others used to get this back to where it started?

Image

Image

Obviously, it's been painted before...

Just found photos of the 'origin story', taken in Elmsdale Avenue, Coventry in the very cold winter of 1982

3 Dolomites - 2 Sprints and my 1500HL.

I'd forgotten about the fog lights I put on my mine...

The snow has finally gone in Hungary, so work has recommenced.

How common was rust under the original paint? Were Dolomite bodies produced in Speke and brought down to Canley on lorries?. That might explain this

Image

So, to be sure, to be sure...
