Yes they do Mud , luckily for me I have the only 1 to do .Although in a way I wish I had bought the otherside as well so I could have done a mini flare on the rear arches.Oh well.
Paint will probably be body deadner , black sticky tar which gets absolutely everywhere. Not that people see or take any notice of under your car but as we all know how bad they can get.
Cheers Matt

Update . Lots of behind scenes being done all those little jobs that seem to consume all your time but no real results...
Big Thanks to Schulet's with his welding expertise the repair section is tacked in and 70% of a million screw holes in the engine bay now weld up..


rear section fits like a glove. Had to make a new inner guard which is done as well.Very fiddly espicially when the original metal is paper thin.



ground back all the welds getting ready body deadner.



Have to grind back the welds from the engine bay then reprime.
So finally progress.
I have my new motor out of storage and is in process stripping the remaining of TVR stuff of it ie water pump ,remote oil filter.
and getting ready to repaint.
Thats all for now!

Back by popular demand![:x)]
Progress turrets welded up and repaired.Previous ownder in his wisdom decided to put pump up air shocks . So he decided to drill several holes and gouge a big mess so the valves would sit clear... GREAT !!





Floor has had a small patch each side. I could have got away with just welding it up but I cant help myself when it comes to grinding



Decided to brush the bitumen paint on instead of spraying . Just a lot less mess and you can really get a good coverage this way.



That is one coat, will do one more just to be sure and will fish oil the inside the rails and rear in guards.
Engine bay is still giving me a bit of grief but I'm on the right direction now.
cheers

Cheers Jamie .. ITs like that somedays.. Can spend half the day doing something really minor and probably no one is going to notice but you do it anyway..

Sounds like my job most days![88]

Underneath of car pretty well finished .



Final small patch just to be sure.Fibre glass filler over the whole patches.



Second coat brushed. I might spray final coat just to get rid of any brush marks.



Glass filled over any welding that I have done and bitumen over the whole lot as added insurance.
Next job is to weld the holes on driver side engine bay .
Thats it for today beer o'clock.

Update!! Driver side engine bay now welded , patched and glased .
Also had the black paint to finish it off.
Being doing all those little add on jobs . Bonnet brackets stripped and primed, one had to have the wrong holes welded up ..Thats the problem with 40 yr cars everyone has had a crack at fixing and modifying them. So to reverse a small job ends up snowballing as everyone who done a full resto would know...But we keep going as we all know the end result is worth it in the end....
Enough dribble beer o'clock.
cheers

Update... Finally 99 % happy with all the patching in the engine bay .
Now etched and ready to high fill/prime. Still have to repair a dent under where the compliance plate sits ..





Rear qtr is etched but now work in progress. It looks lot easier to see imperfections now that it has some form of paint on it.






cheers

Nice work HbGT,

Bet your glad too see the end of that exposed metal!

That's gonna be one very nice ride
What was the cost off dipping the bonnet please?

Also Was it hard to remove doors? should i get a door removal tool somewhere ?

Have you decide if your clearing over the white yet?


I thru a wipe of evercoat blackgold around my engine bay today , it's a nice easy sand filler to use if you need a brand ( though im told its all the same )

cheers jonny
