  • mk2 refurb

    a couple of photos to get stated as they are tagged onto a thread about a mk1 so think the need split up

    old roof off





    second hand one on





    small repairs to the quarter needed



    inner wing repairs









    roof now all filled and primed








    quarter done too



    just need to sort the gaps on the wings and fit the front panel then I can get my own one started

              Got a bit more done but hadrian wings are a crap fit

              After welding a rod from the swage line to the bottom of the wing to close up the gap it now fits also had to reshape the joint at the scuttle as 3/4 of it was hitting the wing, both wings fit the bonnet fine thankfully











              Driver side is just as bad had to do the same at the scuttle but the gap is tight at the bottom wide in the middle and fine at the top









              Have already altered the part that bolts to the pillar because when I first offered the wing up to the car it was over the door by about 5mm and had no gap at all.
              Just got it to fit and sort the gap with a grinder and some filler then weld the front panel on and thats it.
