Matilda-Mary the 1960 2door saloon

Post by dackjonnelly »

New to the forum so better introduce myself and my car I guess?

Names jack, I'm 18, I work part time at a local body shop, already have a lvl2 qualified light vehicle mechanic and I'm going for my lvl2 in body repair! :P

Now for the vehicle, well, her names Matilda-Mary, she's from Berkshire(I think) and she is a 1960 2 door saloon in porcelain green( and at the moment trade spray black and primer grey :lol: ).

The plan is to 'Mil-spec'/'Army rat' her! 8)

She is in my college now so I can do some work on her with out buying tools or paying for other labourers to work on her at the moment but she is being moved pretty soon to where I work!

Here is a picture of her waking up from here 7 year sleep.

and this is a small video of her starting up for the first time

Choose your file then click preview, your pic should come up and then you can choose again and preview until you want to submit. Pics also need to be quite small or they dont always upload.

So I got some new repair panels from good ol' Charles Ware so I decided to start of with the n/s door, anyone else think when they take the internals out of the door that it would be really simple? I sure thought so :lol:


First cut made

I've also had to replace some sections of the inner skin of the door as well, hopefully get some pictures tomorrow!
