Great job there Jack, that is some serious fiddly work but I'm sure the end result will be well worth the effort.

First I unpicked the good door skins from the rusty doors. A pinch bar worked the best.

The skins were just cut off these two doors which were picked for having the best inner frames.

The best tops and bottoms of the inner frames were cut out and will be rejoined and reskinned when I have them all either sandblasted or derusted in the electrolysis bath. This is what I ended up with. The second photo shows what I had to compare with.

I just stumbled across this thread. Awesome to see a Morris Tilly being saved.
 Do you have the manuals that go with it? I'm scanning my manuals of the different makes of the Tillys. A few can already be found at: austin.tillyregister.com hillman.tillyregister.com morris.tillyregister.com standard.tillyregister.com Cheers Arjan
