I just found it on eBay. Asked around if anyone else had one and a few people recommended it.

Managed to get the drivers side wing back on and the tub prepped for painting.

Also got the passenger wing on. It's beginning to look like a car again.

Finish looks really good for painting by hand. Got mine to do and I'll be pleased if it comes out like that. Looks a similar colour to the paint I have too - mines pageant blue. Is 5 litres of cellulose and thinners enough?

Finished painting the tub and got it lifted back into place. I just had to rivet on some of the cappings to see what it looked like.

That looks terrific for a hand application of the paint - well done! The new galvanized parts looking cracking as well. Great job!

Not been very well lately so progress is slow. Managed to get the tub bolted in place and fitted the rear lights etc.
Also started painting the door tops.

Finally finished the front end. I fitted the bonnet and it was totally out of alignment so had to loosen off the rad panel and elongate the holes. It wasn't the original and had been welded but the holes must have been slightly out. I shut the bonnet before tightening it all back up and then couldn't get the bonnet open. Eventually got it back open and adjusted everything ok. Also painted the seat box, floor pans, gearbox tunnel etc. Finally feel as if I'm getting somewhere.

No idea. There is covers for them. I assume someone maybe had speakers in there or something.
