Simon, I am delighted to be able to provide some entertainment in return for all your wonderful posts. Sadly I can't match your rate of progress though.

I would be interested in some shutter rubbers too for our Aurelias. At the moment I bastardise brake bleed valve cover rubbers but this is not ideal.

I have been largely distracted into other activities lately though I have been stripping down my spare doors to learn the process for when work has to be done on BB's doors. However the good news is that a letter dropped through the letterbox this morning with my registration document. I have successfully retained the original registration so many thanks to Barbara Longlands and Brian Hilton for their invaluable services.

Frank, Pleased to be able to help. If your surrounds for the door market lights don't clean up I have spares. BrIan  |

Thanks Brian, I'll see how it goes. Being stainless steel they should be all right. The rust is from the mounting screws.

I have been plugging on with the door stripping which has been a major task. Here are some pictures of the bits. The channels that the window glass sit in are seriously prone to rust. There is a piece of felt along the bottom of the window specially to retain water then sealed in with mastic over the top of the channel both inside and out to ensure any trapped water has the hardest possible job escaping. The rubber covers for the glass mounting holes are rather neat. The picture of the parts all laid out rather belies the amount of work it took to get them all off. Of course they exclude the interior door trims, handles both inside and out, and the myriad nuts, bolts, washers and screws.

At last I am finished on the spare doors so they can go back into storage and I can start thinking about the starter electrics on BB.

Looks like some good progress has been made with those doors. I would hesitate to take mine apart as I would forget how to put them back together! it looks like a job for a nice warm summers day.

Those doors have plenty of issues but crucially the front doors are reasonably good where they extend forward under the windscreen. The originals on the blue car are rather a problem. Today I got the doors packed away back inside the car so I can get at BB again.
