This is the old Carter Street station that I mentioned. As I moved away donkeys years ago not sure if its operational, but it was the only nick between Borough and Camberwell back in the 70's and early 80's along that stretch of road. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8 ... CC8Q8gEwAA The...

Back when your P6 was operational, the nearest nick to Walworth garage was Carter Street. Next nearest nick would have been The Borough. Both were part of M divisions patch. The Walworth garage that I pointed out to Nick from the service sheet/log was based just off Hampton Street if memory...

Wasn't Sir Robert Mark (ex Met Chief) associated with some Dunlop Denovo related TV advertising??

Hi Nigel These days 1k is the trade reference for "cellulose type" paint products i.e. those that do not require a hardener agent to dry. Acrylic falls into the 1k category, and is compatible with traditional cellulose products, such as thinners, primer etc. 2k refers to 2 Pack products...

Hi, Might be worth having a look at some pictures from my restoration. Hopefully they my help. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15185&start=15 Regards

If I'm reading that service record correctly the car was on M divisions old patch. The Walworth garage if memory serves me correctly was just off the Elephant & Castle. None of the covert cars I came into contact with had hidden blues back then. Your P6 would have potentially rubbed...

A quick update on recent progress. I'm in the process of replacing the OS B Post with a NOS one that I picked up later year. In order to unpick all of the original factory spot welds the roof has to come off. To reveal a completely rotten roof gutter... :shock: The stainless trim was held in...

I'd love to make you an offer for the black cloth set, but I'm too far away from you down here on the South coast. Regards Antony

Re: My 3500S Ground Up Resto (Updated) Many thanks for all the positive feedback. Makes all the long cold hours in the garage worth it.....

Re: My 3500S Ground Up Resto Hi All, Sorry its been a while since I updated the thread, but below are a few more pictures of recent progress... New Jack Tubes Welded in place Seam sealed Inner sill coated with 3M sprayable seam sealer Starting to weld in the outer sill panel...

Re: My 3500S Ground Up Resto The wires and positive battery feed should be routed next to the inner sill structure as you say, but I moved them out of the way for now. The outer sill section is spot welded very 3/4 of an inch along the lower floor edge of the inner sill, so its going to get...

Re: My 3500S Ground Up Resto Yes Pat The B post was braced as per a couple of the pictures, and lots of measurements were taken. I'd also played around with the existing doors to get them correctly alined first before the amputation took place, then took more reference measurements. Fitted...

Re: My 3500S Ground Up Resto 1) About 7 man days of work to get to this stage spread over several months, including un-pickking all of the bodgers previous work, as well as prepping the cut out section. Took me several weeks of hunting to track down a donor that I could take the cut out...
