Filling - just one more time

Horn - placement

The new part (front passenger side clip section) had no place for the horn to be attached. So I detatched the old horn bracket.



It seemed to fit, just needed welding.


On the other side was the redundant bracket for the front bumper. It could attach to this with ease. Just need to lengthen the cables.

Seam sealer - front section

I had some brushable seam sealer to apply. I first masked off the areas, applied with a 1/2 inch paint brush which I kept dipping into white spirit. The masking tape needed to be removed shortly after, before the sealer had started to dry too much.

Door pillar repair - upper

Both top pillars on each side, the lower posts both being replaced, have cracks in them. I guess a quick weld will return the strength to this area. This is the main area that allows doors to droop.

New petrol tank?

Due to cost of a new wing, with a petrol flap, I thought I'd replace the wing and petrol tank. The tank I bought new for £77 from heritage but it need a new cap which was out of stock at the time. So I've got bored with waiting some 5 months now and I got this one from ebay, with a cap. Just needs a bit of a clean.

One last bit of filling to seal the body

Bonnet not looking so good

Need to clean up the bonnet a bit!
