I knew it was of to OZ but did not know it was going that fast, but I guess Tom is more than keen to get to play with his new toy!!! Can't say I blame him as it is goint to be a very nice bit of kit when done. I did really enjoy that car, I just couldn't afford to run it and keep the others as well as have all the work done..................

Plently of photos then is a must Andy 8)

Think Tom timed his purchase perfectly... he bought at the best historic fx rate....the longer this takes the more it is costing him :P the way the exchange rates are moving...probably explains the rush !

windscreen and ns glass all removed now so repairs to the nsr wing and roof pillars can be done. still bogged down with the bumpers, gta and A610 are plastic, le mans are fiberglass and these are in a bad way.

progress on this has been held for a while due to an injury but fighting fit again now so time to crack on. lots of repairs needed on this car,bumpers alone have taken 30 hours to repair due to them being fiberglass, both have been primered with the bonnet for some time now. never hold the windsreen pillar to get in and out of the car.
Image

Image

quite a few cars suffer from cracks here on the door skins.Image

Image
don't know what has caused these cracks in the nsr quarter but all repaired now.
Image
Image
Image
all primered now so big flat down, remask and respray before christmas, get back in after boxing day and paint the roof black.

Blimey there's more crack in that than Nigella Lawson's handbag!

Top work Fieldmouse. Take plenty of pics when it's finished.

What's the injury, nothing serious I hope?

It is a standard sole trader activity....
to get injured in November......
Then they can work December and avoid all that Christmas shopping (where is the bah-humbug smile)
Good work Andy.

leaving the primer a couple of days to cure so have been sorting out some other stuff
Image
the under side of the bonnet has a lot of old overspray all over it so it will also need a tidy up.
Image
had to loose some of these trashed stickers but all ready for repainting.
time to sort the mirrors, the old pair will be painted black, the new pair will be painted in the red.
Image
Image
Image
all ready to prime.

drivers door had dropped due to worn hinge pins.

the old pins have been pressed out and new brass bushes fitted and drilled to suit the new pins.
