| Here's
a typical rusty outer sill that's been cut away.
After all the rust is media blasted away and the
inner sill is coated in epoxy primer, a new outer
sill will be welded into place. |
|
|
 |
| Here's
a left front sill (or what's left of it). As serious
as this looks, it's nothing Terry hasn't seen before
in previous cars. This will be a routine repair. |

|
|
 |
| The badly-rusted
driver's side floor is cut out, ready for a new
floor pan to be welded in. |

| Another
day at the beach... |
|
| |
|
|
 |
| New front subframes
and picture frame have arrived. Also, the front
suspension components have come back from being
plated; all parts are laid out to verify everything
is accounted for. |
|
|
 |
| The front sill opening
panel is being checked for proper fitment. All rust
will be removed prior to welding this panel into
place. This entire area was destroyed by rust and
will be reconstructed. |
|
 |
| This
door skin is rusted badly along the top front edge.
It will be replaced with a new skin. |
|
|
 |
| The new door skin
is welded to the inner door structure, and the rebuilt
door is offered into place for a test fit. More
work will be done to get the gaps right. |

 |
| The engine is back
from the machine shop and it's ready for assembly. |
|
 |
| Engine completely
assembled and installed in car. |
|
|
 |
| Under-bonnet area
is painted and assembled. Front suspension (minus
brakes), steering, and engine are all in. |
|
 |
| A very happy owner
(and a grateful Terry) swing back to the shop after
a fun test drive in her newly restored E-Type. |
