Stripping paint from rear wings
Bare metal panels proir to paint

The wings were stripped of paint back to bare metal. Robin
considers this the best way to get a good paint job.
-------------------------------------------------------------

All the panels were taken back to metal before being etch
primed.

Painted panels
Fitting hood

The panels in British Racing Green.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Many cars are let down by poor fitting hoods. We take a lot
of care when fitting to get them looking right.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hood fitting
Finished hood

We try to get the hood really tight. This means a lot of trial
fitting and pulling the cloth tight.


-------------------------------------------------------------

The finished hood, not perfect but the best we could get it
without having a custom made one. With vinyl hoods put a
heater in the car to get the vinyl warm, then it stretches easier
and contracts when cool.

Finished engine bay
Car towing caravan

The finished engine bay, clean neat and tidy.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The finished car with caravan behind. It tows very well with
the torquey 2 litre engine.

Towing with the roof down.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Dad calls the car the Iron Lady due to the number plate
reading `XPM'.

On holiday in France. Every year Mum and Dad go to France
with the car and caravan on the Morris Minors overseas trip.
They also have a lot of holidays in England.
