Complete strip, evaluation and full restoration of the tub, bonnet, doors and boot lid.
Tips:
27-02-05: Always take datums before cutting out panels and make sure when doors are off gaps have beams fitted between hinge bolts and striker plate bolts to stop sag - see pictures.
Wear goggles when grinding and suitable gloves when handling sharp metal.

| At last we start stripping the car, the bonnet assembly comes off after a fight. More rust than metal on the front inner section and wheel arches. Hopefully this bonnet can be salvaged with new panels. If not I will be looking around for a good second-hand one. Latest: Scrapped and fitting a fibreglass one for now. | |
| Original steel Bonnet was scrapped due to serious rust holes in all panels and no remains of any arches!
The car will (for now) have a fibreglass bonnet possibly fitted with side vents.
Note:- The boot lid is free from holes! This is a first for this car! |
