THE BODY

After two weeks at the bodyshop, I called Trevor and he was anxious for me to visit, Trevor had lost my phone number and was very pleased I had called. I popped in the next day and there she was, up on blocks, doors off, wheels off, paint and filler stripped back, with all the tin worm exposed. There had been, as was expected, a lot of filler masking the rot and some evidence of previous welding, but fortunately the rust was not extensive and was confined to just the outer skin.

It was decided that all four quarters needed repair panels and also the sills, unfortunately the photos don't really show the problem, but as I said not to bad considering the age of the car. I ordered the panels as soon as I got home and it was all with me before lunch time the next day.

I delivered everything the next day, including a new windscreen rubber seal, as the widow will have to come out. I was very pleased with progress and I saw Trevor make a note of my mobile number with a promise to call when it was time for me to re-visit, I expect that will be after all the welding is done.
