Bonnet got painted but as I only had to do so much of the underside it got perched on a workmate so I could do it all at the same time.

The vents that were in them I'd assumed to be plastic but are actually an alloy, so they were rubbed down and painted after much cleaning of moss and debris!

This passenger wing was the one I had to do a bit of welding to, came out pretty well I think  |

Frames I'd made up allowed the underside to be painted too.

The door painting frames also allow the door shuts and underside to be painted too, again it means no masking lines.

A few remaining metal parts and the end was in sight.
I managed to stumble across a new old stock rear hatch hinge which was great, a shame I couldn't find two though. But that did give me two semi worn out hinges to make one good one from, which was succesful using pins and bushes to make good so all the play from the old hinges is gone.

The door frames then needed to be satin black so that was next job whilst the weather was still OK

I then remembered that the 1/4 light/window runners would need painting to match so the search started to find them! Found the rears fairly easily but spent a good hour or more searching for the fronts. Checking my pictures seemed the solution to see when they were last on the car....which was when I spotted the fronts don't have any!! FOOL!!!!   I did however have 3 good drivers ones but only one passenger, which had a rotten bottom few inches plus the lower mounting missing. Solution was to use the good section from a drivers side and weld it onto the passenger one, as luck would have it I managed to make the repairs under the window line so they are inside the door but really it went well. Smoothed out and mounting points affixed and checked in a door for alignment. Gutter trims also got the satin black treatment so that everything will match along the side. |

Long sections gripped from underneath then clamped in a workmate so nothing touching to get a clean paint finish.

The little mesh grilles that fit in the front bumper completed the list of black bits...

How long were you looking before you realised they didn't exist...
That wing did look GOOD. Really well done. Getting close now!

The front door window guides? Far too long David I actually searched through my loft where some parts remain, plus in all areas of my unit before resorting to pictures to see if they were on the car still when it went to Jims for me to start the welding….was only then that I noticed the windows were in place and were full windows!! Numpty! Too many cars taken apart since then, that's my excuse! |

Only the wheels left to do! What condition is the interior in? I hope it doesn't need a retrim as the material in the centre of the seats is VERY expensive . |
