KPC 994C's Resto

[minor65]

This is my minor which I have owned since I was 15 (10 years ago). Orginally from Essex, came to N Ireland in 1996.
This picture was taken in March 2009, before restoration started.

Went to visit the progress today (20/04/10). Front door bottoms completed excellent job, front wings on, new lhf hadrains wing didn't fit well, so a bit of work required on the new wing but it fits prefectly now. Excellent door shut lines (d/s/f door not closed properly in photos). New grille and alloy surround fitted with front panel painted. Windscreens removed and rear door bottoms started.

looks good

[stevey]

so its coming along well. Any idea on a finish date yet?

[minor65]

Aiming for end of june (2010 ) but who knows. After respray is completed still a lot of fiddly jobs to do. Paul works by himself and has other projects going on too.

[stevey]

Ah, so is the shopping list long for the national then?

[minor65]

Not to long yet. I have got most of the parts I think I need, but I'll see what bargains are about.

[minor65]

Visited the progress today (23/10/10) and to give paul the rechromed door handles. Rear door bottoms completed, L/H/R door worse than R/H/R as new both sections were needed. Front and rear windscreens removed and lip edges prepared and red leaded, so hopefully no more leaks . Next stage now is the undercoating.
