@fastoriel...Thanks....
Can't wait to see the finish product(Y)(Y)(Y)
@Fastoriel...Thanks
@nikatnite...This car was thrown away for ages and was serving cats as their maternity home so thought that It should also come on the road along with our project(blue)spit..
@Toofast...This spitfire is not going to take long because there is hardly any body work or any fabrication...So restoration will be straight forward.Some mechanical work will be required which I will share with you brothers.
Gear box tunnel cover original..Made from a sort of compressed card board which is very fragile.There is a layer of glass wool for sound and heat proofing from engine and transmission fixed at underside of the cover which is also in bad shape as you can see in the pic.....Have decided to repair the same original one with new undercoating of glass wool......
Oh nice.. another one! Pweelers have now got another interesting topic to talk over... (Y)
Next part I decided to remove from the car were headlight surrounds...having a look at the hidden screws....
@Hassam...The main purpose of this restoration is not to make this car but to engage myself into some thing to divert my attention from the loss I suffered a month back..
Left headlight surround first....
