Enjoy what you are planning, it will be worth it.
If you feel tired or frustrated walk away and come back refreshed.
My first restoration took 3 years but enjoyed every minute.
I'm in Llangollen, if you want to get together.

Re: Convertible
Thanks for your response.

This photo illustrates the problem with the N/S inner wing flanges.
The off side is not as bad but the problem with the door aperture is greater on the near side.[frame][/frame]

Re: 1956 series 2 restoration

I particularly like your home made 'A' frame car roller, very innovative. And the end result is a lovely so...

Re: 1956 series 2 restoration
Not a very happy sight greeted me when I completed the rotisserie.
Not completely surprised. Time to learn how to weld.

Re: Minor restoration
Congratulations, it looks great.
I'm just coming to an end of two years on the restoration of a 1956 series 2 though I am proud of what I have done it's not in the same league as yours.
