Here's a photo of the accident damage from my previous thread...
And here is the car as of this afternoon...
I'm planning a couple modifications during the bodywork segment of the project. First, I'm getting rid of the seams between the front fenders and cowl. I'm also getting rid of the ones along the top of the rear fenders. If you've seen my MGC GTS up close then you will understand what I mean.
The second modification is to revert the car to the early style door handles, which were a pull handle instead of a push button. I've never been crazy about the look of the push buttons, and wonder why M.G. ever went to them. To accomplish this modification I will have to cut the door handle holes larger in the door skins, and drill two holes to secure the handle. We will then fill the old smaller hole where the small end of the push handle mounted, and drill a new one nearby for the rubber pad the pull handle rests on. The pull handle itself needs to be modified as well, where it touches the door latch actuator.
Monday morning I will be removing the last of the glass and trim, and then we get to work!
