Re: Go on then….
Yes I’d say so. Although I’m guessing it has to be self contained and not wired anywhere as it would render the door useless if there were any connections to the vehicle.

Re: Go on then….
Looking at the hole I don’t thing it was home made unless some owned a steel press. I guess I’m in the market for a badge to fill the hole if it’s not a standard option. That or take the door away altogether.

Go on then….
What goes in here??? I’m thinking maybe some sort of wind up clock. The glove box door still works although I don’t think it’s original on my 1955 convertible. Neither is the engine or speedo either

Re: Daily ... well summer.... use
I’ll set that as a task for next time. As well as checking the originality of everything. It all looks ok but I haven’t been around as long as the car ( and I’m retired !! )

Re: Daily ... well summer.... use
Sorry for typo 10mph ( it was actually a spellcheck as it just tried to change it again dangnabbit )
As in round the industrial estate it says I’m doing 25 mph when the phone app saying 36mph…
And I know my other car is a 1967 Land Rover but I know it was more than 25

Long time lurker, hitting retirement and wanting to use Meggy more. Got ourselves a place in Norfolk too and have a yearning to take her down there too.

Re: Hood frame, rear window frames
OK thanks, I'm thinking of getting some adhesive felt stuff to fasten to the bars or window frame as a bit of protection... the stuff I want isn't felt really but I'll be damned if I know what it is called?? that stuff that is used for sticking under furniture to stop it scratching wood floors !!

The body is BRG but the interior is a mix of red door cards and wheel arch covers and green carpets. One seat is red leather with white piping the other is pkain red. ...
