1965 Four Door - sympathetic resto

[OGY985K]

Couldn’t resist taking the front wing off before I park it for a bit…explains the door gap issues.
The arch appeared solid. Fresh looking under seal covering gum and newspaper!

Inner wing isn’t terrible. I think full sills will be required as per the other side.

As you say. Not too bad. Very similar to the other side. It'll seem easier the second time I guess and, as you've said before, at least the parts are reasonably inexpensive. Don't forget to add plenty of paint and rustproofer to the repairs afterwards It'll last for years and years!

Thanks @manyminors.
I’ve just ordered inner, outer, under sills, strengthener, pillar cover plate (may yet need pillar), 4 door kick plates and edge strips….£200! What a bargain vs Spitfire.
Hunting a rear wing.

I’ve done a bit more since part one of stem cell transplant (cell collection) is complete. I’ve a pause until Oct and the main event.
Lots of rust revealed but the rear wing attachment lip is, fortunately, repairable.
I need to take the tank out and, since this requires lots of back bending, will focus on the sills and front of the car.
The door pillar is ok but lots of work required behind it. Definitely going for full sills.
I’ve bought a new old stock wing.
