100% TR shop, superb, fitted myself as well.

Thanks Rich, I’ll do that. I won’t be doing anymore to the car now that warmer weather is on the way. I’ll probably tackle the bootlid next and then the front wings.

Couple of coats of primer, aiming to flat back this weekend and re-coat.

I've covered mine in PPF, seems to work.

Just been reviewing the O/S front inner wing which seems to have had a number of very poor repairs along with lots of pop rivets and I think the best solution would be to replace the inner wing. Any recommendations for suppliers? Guessing these are all BMH remanufactured panels? Thanks again.

Quite pleased with the colour:

Going to re-paint the original emblem using 1 shot enamel, will need to mix the blue down though. New one to keep me going.

Thanks Rich, definitely not concours and will remain a working car for me. Good call on the correct rubbers, I'm currently using bonnet cones from a spitfire.

Thanks

I notice the top of my bonnet where the cones are is a slightly different shape to both of these, it's flat and doesn't have the raised section. Another question and I couldn't find this in the Moss catalogue. Is there a gasket between the bonnet hinges and the bonnet? Or metal to metal? Thanks J

Mine is a 65 car with Strombergs, not sure if that makes a difference, too late to change now for me.

That looks a superb job, ironically I don’t have any issues with the bonnet catching anything but I will check. I’m pretty sure this is the original bonnet as well as it was still in the original conifer underneath. It seems to have had a front end shunt at some point though as the grille panel is clearly a secondhand replacement along with the TR5 windscreen surround so a bonnet in the same colour may have been sourced? I did think about drilling out and cleaning behind but I’m keen to get the car on the road asap.

Just bought new letters, a badge and the rubbers for the wings, next step is to finish top coating this week.

Quite pleased with the colour:

Etch primed the inside of the bonnet. Will flat back and paint over with high build primer and top coat when it gets a little warmer. Aiming to paint the top of the bonnet once I have aligned everything and it is back on the car:
