This story actually starts on another post : http://www.sunbeamrapier.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=166
but i'll continue it here!
A man with an angle grinder, time to look away!
No question that the old strut tops needed replacing;
New panel clipped in place, from inside....
and outside....
So far, so good and progressing well. Will keep posting updates as and when more gets done

New panels are now welded in place, welds need cleaning up and there's a couple more rot holes in the rear sills to sort out and then we can move on to the next phase.

All welding is now finished, picking car up tomorrow & I'll post up some more pics ASAP.
Onto to under the bonnet now where an engine bay re-spray plus an engine re-fit with lots of shiny new bits should make everything look good

Wow! that looks like a real profesional job Jason, the seat is a great job, sometimes I wish I lived a bit nearer you guys might get a bit of help then - feel a bit isolated up here,
Best Regards

Bit more progress to report, getting there slowly!
O/S/F suspension all dismantled ready to take to work, I mean the blasters before it all gets a nice coat of hammerite.

Yes its very satisfying getting all this done and apart from 1 stubborn bolt it all came apart fairly easily.
Put a picture up of your seat so I can see what you mean, or is it the foam bolster that has crumbled??

I see what you mean, should be an easy job for a trimmer, i'd be tempted to have a go myself, getting new beading may be tricky though?
There are instructions in the forum help section about putting pictures in posts. Similarly if you want a picture in your signature just copy the IMG code into it and hey presto!
