So I posted the list of parts and tempted as I am to say how much they cost I don't think I will.  I will show you what they look like though:


Doesn't seem right does it, two small boxes.  Oh well. The horn push looks good though:



So I managed to get the car out yesterday as the weather was sunny in London.  I think that my wing repair is ok for the time being.



If you follow the gap up to the top of the door/wing then you'll see that the door gap gets bigger, considerably so.  I put this down to poor craftsmanship on the part of the door manufacturer and I think the only way to solve it will be to get it welded.  I have quite a few aluminium bits and pieces that need welding so I'm thinking of finding somebody to come to me rather than me cart all the bits to a welder.

So anyway I decide that the lines on the car are a little inconsistent and fall back into that  state of procrastination that I know so well.





I didn't take any pictures of the other side for some reason and I know that it isn't possible to see the line of the side of the car on these photos but they are different.  So I think I'll get on with the wing and the A post on the near side and then take a view.


The door is sitting too high but I decided that this is the positioning of the hinges rather than the A post so I move onto the wing.  I realise that the front rolled edge of the repair section doesn't match the original so decide to leave the original rolled edge and cut the rot away from behind the wheel  arch. enough for today I think.
