I was thinking of painting the arm too, just not the mirror housing??
Hello!
I thought i would start a thread to detail my little project...
I recently bought a SWB S3 which i plan to clean up and make a few tweaks!
This is what she looked like when i bought her:
It was owned for over 30 years by one guy and was then passed on to his mechanic in his Will when he passed, I'm told it was one of many cars in his collection and was used as his work horse on his farm,
First things first.... the bale twine in the dash....
After some investigation it turns out that some rodent has decided to make my dash a home!
so after digging out 2kgs of muck, dust, leaves, cardboard and .22 Rounds !? i went on a hunt for damage caused.... luckily there was only 3 wires that had been chewed down to the copper, so i cut and repaired these to prevent any shorts in the future,
Bottom of the dash after the clear out
my findings;
The nibbling:
Next up... to tackle the dull paint work...

Leave them black, too much camaflage might cause some confusion that is going to be a great car. Love what you are doing and looking forward to seeing some more images when you're done and out on the road.Door locks (one was faulty and wouldn't lock/latch)
Bonnet seal:
old
new
Do you think i should colour match the door hinge / mirror arm? or leave them black??
Very nice work. Really like this one. I would make the hinge the same as the car. Are those one piece defender door seals?

Forget your sex life, just get out there, find some tough terrain and take some decent photographs, post them here in Loonyzone and then, and only then, go out and play in the bush .Thanks Alan! I just need to find some bush now!
