So it continues

Pleased to see that following my strip down, prep to the body and panels has started.

I adore new paint, can’t wait. I have everything ready to put it all back together.

The only ally corrosion was around the door apertures on the low seam joint and around the door catch.

Trouble is with these Aeros, everything is so ill fitting it’ll get damaged just by closing a bonnet or door

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Don't remind me... first time I closed my door it chipped my newly painted a-pillar, now I need to modify the badly fitted quarter glasses and repaint it again. swear

Looking good though, cannot wait to see the finished job cheers

Yup mine are rubbing constantly but I might just place a thin washer between the hinge and the wood to push the foot back marginally.

If you have clearance on the latch side then that is a good idea, I don’t think mine did..
