    My 2a freshen up

    Ok here we go I don't know how long this project is going to take me but
    I try to do something every day
    This is the vehicle out in the weather when I bought it and on the neighbour's borrowed trailer on the way home.

    the photos here are a bit haphazard because I didn't take a lot early on
    Hard top came off as well as the door tops the passenger side was rusted out but drivers side could be salvaged maybe

    The Plan is to paint everything as I dismantle no pictures of the floor etc as it is painted and stored on top of seat box wrapped in paper.
    hinges were dismantled and painted too.
    seat box and tops were army khaki while the doors and floors were deep bronze green bit of mix and match going on
    Door skins were removed and frames were painted inside and out before reassembly

    Wind screen and door trims have been painted a silvery colour
    Wiper motors rewired and painted and custom cutting board wire grommet's made. One windscreen glass is laminated the other is solid glass. One wiper motor was also painted army colour (drivers side)

    I have some rust to address but that's down the track, at the moment I want to finish painting the doors then maybe pull a guard of and paint that.
    My plan is to strip all the body and paint bits then see what chassis issues I may have
    Brake peddle is frozen on the floor and clutch peddle doesn't work clutch either but that's for later body first

    Good to see!
    Looks like a good project vehicle and your work is of a decent standard.
    Are they alloy or stainless fuel tanks?
    I will watch this thread with interest.

    They are nice looking fuel tanks. They look like alloy but seem to be too clean so are prob stainless. Still look good tho...
    Theres a bit of rust in that firewall. Rusty firewall is what pushed me to start rebuilding my Betsy.

    Hopefully this won't be as boring as watching paint dry as that's all that's happening.
    After a morning of collecting wood got home to find Postman Pat had delivered a parcel from a Queensland member of bits and bobs..Thanks
    seat rails were etched and painted. Want original seats back in this vehicle.
    With paint on hand gave final coat to passenger door and second to inside drivers door.
    Then the yips set in second time I've dropped this particular hinge so back to start again.
    Unusual markings on hinge base could this vehicle have been owned by JC????
    don't know what I'll do tomorrow but will try and do one thing. Got a lot of splitting & stacking to do
    Cheers Paul
