C8A HUW: body dimensional data needed

[Jerry Hill]

So Christmas came & went, complete with Man Flu... well a filthy cold.

I've been putting off removing & splitting the passenger's door skin, but it was a nice straight forward job. I removed the door furniture first to get at the lower hinge, which is bent, I'm hoping it's not cast iron as I intend to gently straighten it with the 30 ton press. The door lock mechanism needs a little bit of a straighten as well.

The two skins are creased. The inner one rather more than the outer. It has creased around the door lock mechanism mounts as can be seen on the pic. A little bit of gentle press work should improve things here to an acceptable standard.

I'm told the more visible outer skin may have to be re-skinned because the single crease may be hard to eliminate. The door top strip needs a bit of knocking here and there and should straighten out nicely.

The front end now has the nudge bar refitted, along with bonnet (hood) catches and other bits and bobs. I'll not start on the wiring until some bits I want arrive in the post.
