I've now made a start on Anna's Bulldog, the paint was looking very tired and crazing (plus a little bump) meant it was time to re-do it all again. And all before Stoneleigh! :o
Stripped down and primered

Looking better

Even the cobwebs outside were looking lovely

2K, Celly didn't hold very well and chipped very easy.
Here she is just about done, just a few little jobs to finish

Hairy Santa

nice job mate that's nice and shiny now, look forward to seeing it in the flesh

Moleman

That looks stunning mate. I bet Anna is well pleased.  8) 

Bulldog Bri

I am pleased with the finish, mostly. But spraying in the garage, I did get a fair bit of dust land on it so I still have to rub down and polish up. :-[

Now that Anna's Bulldog is out of the garage, I've had time to clear some space and dig the Locost back out where I can work on it! ::)

Jobs include, New dashboard, sort out the front brakes that have seized on, probably a new starter motor (this ones gone weird), re fit the seats and tidy all the bodywork. After that a dam good tune-up ;D




And YES John, I do intend getting it on the road this year (we've bee saving up ;))

Managed to recover the dash and it fits much better now, next the fun bit. Wiring it up. ???

8)

Bulldog Bri

Wiring coming along well and even started the engine again. Seats need to be sorted out (little welding required) and a small repair to the nose. Then I suppose I should start looking at the paperwork again ???

Bulldog Bri

Anna's Bulldog is off for it's MoT Monday morning, think I bolted everything back on. Lol ;D

I tested the Overdrive solenoid yesterday, but no life was found, will be taking that out to see if I can persuade it back into service ;)
