Lots more parts bolted on since my last update. Starting to come together now

It appears to be. I did put a spacer as recommended behind the slave but have had the car running and it feels good

Still been getting on with the rover but progress been slow while trying to cut down my spares hoard and selling my 2000tc. More flatting and buffing though. All the doors are built up now too. That was a slow going process but did get a little easier once I'd done a couple

Hard to explain but you could see there wasn't going to be enough travel by the amount the lever moved

It's the longer one. I mistakenly fitted the short one first and had to split the engine and box again.

More buffing and have started with building the doors back up.

First time I've done it that way and to be honest I found it easier getting rid of the old paint.

Everything painted now Have now started to flat and buff before fitting a few bits on the bootlid.

Everything either painted now or in primer. Have a week off work from Friday so hopefully get Everything painted in lovely almond.

Still been plodding along repairing where necessary. Now only have the front and rear valances left to strip and prime. Everything else is either painted or in primer.

More stripping and priming

Stripped the paint off the offside doors and treated any surface rust with vatcan rust treatment. Will sand back next week then etch prime followed by high build primer.

Only a tiny bit but the epoxy then white high build primer filled it fine.

Started on the doors now tackling the roughest one first.

It's coming along nicely and yes using jawel 2 pack

Been off work this week so had another day of prepping and painting. Doors and wings next starting with the drivers side rear which needs some repairs. Rest are fairly good. (Fingers crossed)

Cheers. It's coming along nicely.

More prep on the body panels and starting to get them painted now. Loads more to prep yet

Yesterday I went about prepping the underside of the boot and bonnet. After trying to resist removing the boot mount bracket I had to drill out rivets which made it much easier to prepair. The bonnet was just a case of removing any flakey paint before epoxy and later in the day topcoat. Didn't...

Done a bit more adjustment on the drivers side wing and does line up better now but have a bad feeling the doors full of filler Anyway I continued to strip the bonnet and started in the bootlid. I did use paint stripper in the boot too but what remains in the photo it wouldn't touch so used...

It is indeed and that's why I haven't done any for a while. Just been cracking on with getting the car done.

Cheers it's starting to look like a car again. Must make another video soon, it's been a while.

Have now welded up and cleaned up all the rivet holes and made a small repair to one of the wings. Decided against cutting out the stiffener but will give it a good coating if dinitrol. Then test fitted the wings. Passenger side fitted nicely but drivers side not so much so thinking I'll...

I guess I'll find out. Can't imagine so by the time the brackets screwed in at the bottom

I have done a couple of bits of welding on it haven't I. Lol Think I'll remove it and see how much flex there is. Can't imagine it will be much as its quite narrow on that part of the wing
