Stripped, welded and smoothed

Here we are, stripped of all contents and trim, all rust removed and welded. Sprayed with epoxy and more sanding taking place.

It's time for me to arrange for the wheels to be removed for refurbishing.

Still some parts to buy, we need a new radiator and exhaust will be needed soon after that, certainly if we are to get an MOT.

So far we have had 2 new front wings, 2 rear arches, 2 new doors, 1 new boot lid, arch kit and an aerial.

A few more parts

So, we purchased some suspension parts a while back and had to discover what the brake disc sizes were before we could get the new ones. Turns out they are 239mm. They are kept on the shelf in Launceston branch of Kevin Cooper so I have a pair of discs and a new set of pads to take over to the garage in the next day or two.

Still no real  idea of when the car might be ready for its MOT or back on the road but its still possible that we might get some miles done this Summer, hopefully!

Shopping list continues to grow

I have today ordered a pair of front coil springs, a pair of front shock absorbers, a pair of front brake discs and pads. With a following wind the suspension parts will be in by the end of tomorrow and I can get them to the garage to be fitted.

The brakes are however going to take a little longer to organise as there seems to be an option on the diameter of the discs. I got offered 9 1/2" or 10" discs, we need to measure whats on there and then get the replacement parts ordered so that will happen when the suspension is done.

Looking forward to the refurbishment part of the project I have been recommended to a company in Wadebridge, Cornwall for reconditioning the wheels, apparently  www.thepolishedwheelcompany.com are very good. Once we are on the road I'll be making a trip to Wadebridge to get them to take a look and tell me what can be done for me.
