Beautiful Mock up

Nothing really needs to be said, inspiring.

Naked

Finally - you can see some progress, from maroon to.... bare metal!

Next weekend should see us putting the Shultz on the underside.

Then doing the final preparation to the bodywork and then we will be ready for our first coat of primer!

The war of the classics

Managed to get a fair bit done ready to put the valance on, couple of tiny things to do and to dress the welds and we are done on the shell. Unfortunately our Land Rover (Suetonius) has decided that it's time to break his gearbox, so the time we had to spend on Mutley will be put into that to get him back on the road as he is our main car at the moment.

2008 - The year of the Mutley

Deep breathe.

We finally have managed to get some time to work on Mutley!

Today I un-skinned my doors ready for re-skinning when I get the skins tomorrow at Bingley whilst Chris cleaned the underneath of the boot floor which was thick with waxoyl and crap!
Hopefully during the week we'll get the little tiny strip along the floor finished and then shultz and put the rear valance on!

Found out that we'll be moving in a few months to a wind proof building - so spraying will hold off until that time!

How very naughty of me!

Sorry to everyone who has been keeping an eye on the blog for updates - life has been decidedly busy recently and we've not had that much time for poor old Mutley.

However a few weeks a go the boot floor edge had been repaired, and we just need to flip him on his side to finish off and then Schultz the bugger underneath!

We also have everything apart from Primer now too! Yay! I will get the picture to show you all how lovely it looks.

Mutley got a Christmas present (early!) of some carbon fibre door escutcheons - which will be a really good finishing touch!

Hopefully more updates before Christmas! Fingers crossed!

Soul Destroying? Possibly. (Part 2)

More progress on the sanding, done part of the boot lid too - motivation on my part was lacking.
The wholes in the drivers side window have now been done and sorted - not really much more welding to go now - just finishing bits mainly.


I'd like to add that black snot is a must when sanding a car.


Woo.

Soul Destroying? Possibly.

Maybe that possibly should be a certain yes, to start with it wasn't too bad - I managed to get the drivers side rear quarter done and the passenger door. Found a few little bits on the window that needed replacing (as seen in the pictures).

The window on the other side needed some fresh metal putting in, and that has been done as well.

Fairly good progress I suppose!
