New shell, been in shed for 22 years

Postby dycecooper » 12 Feb 2012 11:04

This shell was spanking new, painted and stuck in a shed, sadly the shed roof fell in, damaging the windscreen frame and bootlid.

Its now in a safe place and I will start on its later this year.

(I dont own it, but I will be building it)

Shame about the damage, will be a challenge getting the windscreen frame back in shape.

That's what I was thinking. Any experience with this Ron (Silverseven)?

nope...don't get to work on many convertibles !

Probably think it would be a whole lot easier just replacing the windshield frame with a clean used assembly......

Ron.

But to do that properly you'll have to remove the (front) wings.

The shell is now repaired and painted the same colour as the donor car.

I agree, the best colour for the convertible by far.

Keep the pictures coming.
