James,

How about those Little nicks that I see on the repainted doorcard? Did youfill thos eith a suitable lethr filler? Very easy to do, can be sanded and resurfaced to be totally the same and then resprayed to mic in without being noticable. Also, if you didn't do it yet, you can still do it any day. No probs. Just my thought on the matter.

Kind regards,

Jacques.

It’s extremely satisfying to do - looks great ?

Thanks guys :-)

@Jacques yes your right, fortunately the marks you can see is fluff and greasy hand prints, this card was already very smooth - however the other side is a lot worse, so i'll definitely be using the filler :-)

Items required for MOT have already been ordered so hopefully get them done this weekend :-)

Ahoy Gents,

Summer preparation has begun and i kicked off with a fresh MOT. It failed on a leaky front damper, saggy door, and a ball joint, so to keep everything event i replaced both upper ball joints, both front struts and stripped everything for a bit of paint. The saggy door just required tightening of the lower bolt.

 

 

 

I've also been sorting the rear bumper as the paint had a nasty crack on one corner and the general condition was very poor. I've removed both sections, finding the lower bolt strip to be completely rotten. Fortunately everything else in that area was relatively tidy but i will definitely be bolting it all up with some stainless bolts or where the original fixings survived, a heavy rust treatment and plenty of wax oil.

The exhaust support (subframe ?) will be coming off in the meantime for cleanup and paint as its solid but has a lot of surface rust, this also allows me to fit new exhaust damper/mounts.
