I was hoping to get the vinyl off the dash padding but still be able to use the padding again. I knew it was damaged but I wanted to try to repair it. These pictures actually make it look a lot better than it is especially round that bit with...

Hello. Glacial progress continues. Might as well show you what little there is. Primer went on with brush and roller. So did the top coat. The finish is ok. I know a lot of people get fantastic results with brush and roller but I don't. To...

after fixing the two bits I cut out, I got the trapeze section welded up

A bloody fiddly job. Angles, twists and tiny pieces. You can see that the crossmember is supposed to be sandwiched between inner and outer skin. I wonder how many actually do this as you have to chop off a bit more than you’d want to. My pencil...

After a small clean and hoover. Chassis looks good 😊😊😊 One small patch on the trapezium but that loooks like it so far 👌 I haven’t taken side out yet as need to remove other rear quarter and take some measurements for the braces for the new...

Rich had patched up the rear boot floor, which was fine for few years but 30 year old spot weld seams only last so long. I’ve decided that it will get totally new floor to go with a new rear crossmember. Even managed to snap my spot weld bit so...
