That was my job for umpteen years ; pressure testing all types of control ball/butterfly etc valves with various gases / fluids including full immersions . Used clean rooms and worked with vacuum settings and pressures up to 20,000 psi on relief valves . I worked with all the major gas/oil companies inspectors througout the world including the Russians in the 1970,s . Used to use mercury manometers and got showered with mercury regularly every week in the late 1960,s and throughout the 1970,s . Health and safety , my Ar*e . . I have bookmarked that company  . . |

Well, I’ve got a bit of time between Christmas and New Year, so I’ve managed to get a bit done today. First the crank was assembled into the block, back plate fitted and flex plate. Then the new small hitork starter, Checked out to make sure the starter engaged correctly and finally making sure I engaged and turned the crank over. All good there, so dismantled again ready to take block and crank for rebore, crank grind and full balance. I pulled the old engine a while ago now, and the swopped in BW35 transmission.  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis Thought I’d start to strip other stuff out, so after a bit of a struggle managed to get the doors off.  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis The bonnet and the radiator slam panel.  "Met"amorphosis This is the way it looked when I left for home today.  "Met"amorphosis |

We’ve done a bit more now. Managed to get the doors stripped out, window glasses, door locks and handles, winder mechanisms etc. Now the drivers side door empty weighs the same as the passenger door unstripped. So what gives?? Well on closer inspection …….  "Met"amorphosis It appears that there’s a bit of filler in the lower part of the door.  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis Now we got all the filler out in a big pile on the floor ………………  "Met"amorphosis I took this home and weighed it, 3.5 lbs, in one part of the door. This what was underneath ………….  "Met"amorphosis And this what the door looks like now all the crap has been removed.  "Met"amorphosis We need to do the repair on the lower part of this door before the other one is started on, because we need measurements from the other door to get this one right first. |

Lovely car, so much potential.
But the filler!
Why do people do that ! Easier to repair the door properly than to fart around with that much filler.
Bought a Singer Chamois where the sills were made of rolled up newspaper and filler, must have taken weeks to do, looked so good. Only took a weekend to replace the sills properly.

Sheesh! The doors on my Pop are a bit like that, but for no reason at all. They're quite solid. Looks like someone's just skimmed the whole door to tidy them up. Odd.

Hey, I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of manufacturers do it. I was surprised when I went over to Fintans (F H Ellis) one day and he was prepping a Ferrari for sale at Bonhams festival of speed auction. He was putting a skim coat all over, and I was told that this is what would have happened at the factory when they were new!!

"Met"amorphosis And after removing radiator side supports, lower panel under radiator, air intake for heater just below the windshield.  "Met"amorphosis Heater assembly.  "Met"amorphosis Then disconnected wiring loom, regulator, fuse box and removed back to firewall. Removed choke cable, starter pull cable and solenoid, brake pipes and brake light switch assy. Then, removed the windshield.  "Met"amorphosis  "Met"amorphosis That’s it ‘till after the new year now ……………. |
