An Introduction: Chris Collins and Morris Tilly Project

[jack neville]

Thanks Colin. Yes I'm just thankful it is a little car that can be easily tossed around to make the work easier. So far I don't think it has suffered from any heat distortion.

Rooves have been blasted and the original just needs a small patch where it had been previously rusted through and filled. The folds inside above the sills are a bit untidy but will be convered with masonite trim eventually so we can live with that.

Chris has started working on the body side panels marking and drilling holes.

Caught in the act... see i do stuff!

Whilst Mr Collins concentrated on marking holes I spent some time grinding up the welds on the additions to the chassis.
Measured up requirements for the tow bar which I will make up once I get the required steel.
Rear section is now ready to seal and paint. I think.

Pictures of the rooves as earlier mentioned. First was to add the rib on the car roof to match the original Tilly. There is a piece of rope which fits between to rib and roof to stop vibration I suppose. Some grinding of the rib to allow access to the bolts securing the supporting timber strut. Also reattached the small gutter pieces to the car roof.

Also filled the couple of small rusted out areas on the original roof after welding in patches.

Some filler and sanding.
