Hi guys
You may have noticed I've been rather quiet regarding posts to the list lately,
thats soley because I've been beavering away on the Midget restoration, and
making the most of the good weather.
I'll bring you up to date on where I am.
I'm glad to say that about 90% of the structural welding is now complete and
includes two new floorpans, two new inner and outer sills, two new inner
footwell side panels, two new lower hinge repair sections and outer covers,
two new lower rear inner and outer wing repair sections, localised repairs to
both spring hangers, and outer boot floor and two new door skins and
localised repairs to the doors.
I've also done about 70% of the welding work on the drivers side wing and
have a new wing for the passenger side. This just leaves the bonnet, the jury's
still out on whether im going to repair this or replace it.
Th engine and all the ancillary's have been removed and the car is currently
on its side allowing me to complete the welding to the underside.
Recently I've been doing the horrible task of stripping off the old underseal
and paint from the underside and transmission tunnel - horrible job - this is
now nearly completed.
So, in all pushing hard towards getting the car into primer which should be
happening pretty soon. I have taken a few pictures and when I get them
organised will put some up.
Still on schedule to have the car completed before the end of the year.
Regards
Nigel
