Simon,
No evidence of shunt damage or repairs on the body
The vertical face are the bases the seats afix to.
Chassis is in perfect condition apart from rust pits that where hidden under the felt strips and a warning to others who still have them on their cars.
That pinch may have appeared after I removed the pipe shown in the photo, with the area around the hole bulging slightly.
That pipe faced toward the rear with the end close to and pointing towards the exhaust.
Wonder if having the car on the rotisserie has anything to do with it?
Geoff - MacPro sorted I hope as I have videos to edit.
Nick,
The car arrived without any securing method that would have caused any damage.
Oh, just remembered‼️
The body was, however, outside and raised off of the ground on two lengths of scaffolding planks, placed crosswise, and resting on axle stands and during a period of fierce winds the car was lifted clear of the planks and stands and the NS rear corner/Mud Shield landing on the concrete paving.
The is no evidence of any damage to that corner but who knows where the force of hitting the concrete, if any, went.
Have posed a question to Simon about the rotisserie, but the car rotates with ease.
Geoff - A mystery to say the least, and bugging me no end.
Ivor,
Thanks for comment, and yes I am at last getting my enthusiasm back.
General question to Forum members,
Something I forgot to add previously regarding the bottom of the Scuttle sides that are bent and inwards then curved to meet the Flitch Panels.
Do I have to include that flat part that extends downwards or just weld the curved bit straight into the Flitch panel?
Geoff - Cholestrol here I come in the form of fried eggs & bread with bacon!
