NOVEMBER 2024 (30/11/-0001)

AFTER A FULL RESPRAY, THE ROOF WAS REPLACED WITH A NON-SUNROOF VERSION.

PREVIOUSLY A CHEAP AFTERMARKET SUNROOF HAD BEEN FITTED. WE PUT IN A NEW

HEADLINING, THEN DID PRE MOT CHECKS - AND PASSED. FINALLY, TREATED ALL

PLASTICS AND RUBBERS TO A REFRESH WITH SONAX AND SWISSVAX PRODUCTS. THE

LAST JOB ON THE LIST ..... A FULL WAXOYL UNDERNEATH....!

BODY NOW IN PRIMER, BONNET NEEED QUITE A LOT OF SHAPING , AND SCUTTLE PANEL

HAD QUITE A FEW SMALL DENTS....BOTH ALSO IN PRIMER NOW TOO.....

SOME MORE RUST FOUND AROUND WHEEL ARCHES AND ALONG DOOR EDGES . FILLER

WORK NOW CONTINUING ON REPAIRED BONNET. HOPING TO GET FIRST PRIMER COATS

ON TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK.....

THERE WAS A NASTY RUST PATCH AT THE FRONT OF THE BONNET . THIS AFFECTED BOTH SIDES OF THE PANEL.

THE BONNET ALSO COVERED IN FINE CRAZING, SO THE DECISION WAS MADE TO BARE METAL THE PANEL, AND

SEAM WELD NEW PATCHES TO SUIT. SIMILAR ISSUES HIDING UNDER REAR NUMBER PLATE, AND A LARGE NUMBER

OF DENTS AROUND THE BODY IN GENERAL .
