1967 Morris Oxford Traveller - off to a new home

The ally door panels look great, a result for your 1st attempt! whats the hardboard for to back the ally panels?

The strap duplicator thingy is a good idea might have to copy that!!

My Missus is kind, and lets me mark out on the conservatory floor without batting an eyelid

But her cruel side has been revealed, as she now says I can make her a new draining board for the kitchen !!

Those interior panels look fantastic, very impressive!

Women are like that

I didn't really consider it, they are part of the car.
The same ashtrays are in the backs of the front seats too.

Your door cards look awesome!

I must admit I thought the ali panels would look rather pants when you said that was what you were going to do - but I'll eat my thoughts - they look rather good indeed!

So there I was colour sanding the doors. 
It made sense to me to do that before refitting the door handles.
But it seems colour sanding isn't my strongest suit, and I was struggling.
I used a bit of black guide coat over the grey, and that worked well.
But the black would have been almost invisible over the maroon, so I though a quick mist of Upol grey primer would work well.
But the can almost exploded, and put great gobs of paint onto the panel.
I let it dry and tried to block it down, but it had gone on so thick it had "burnt" through into the top coat.
Nothing more for it than to block the area back and re-apply primer/filler and top-coat



With soft paint on the car, I decided on a garage tidy/rework.

I never seem to put my grinders away, so they are always clogging up the place.
So, time to build a tool board for the commonly used fab tools.
I'm particularly proud of the plumbing fittings, that hold the marker pens.
Extra shelf as a bonus too.



I tidy up of tools etc in my cupboards found all this stuff I never use - put to one side for a car boot sale.



I was storing household paint and decorating supplies in the garage - no wonder it was rammed - I moved all of this to the shed.



All these toolboxes in the middle of the garage meant I had no room to work on anything big



The freed up space meant the ugly green cabinets can go, and everything else shuffled up.
I was also able to get the pillar drill out of a corner , and now it can be used easier.
I've since put the linisher on castors, so I can push it out of the way if necessary.



Yep - happy with that.

More car progress very soon 

not great are they? what on earth has happened to proper customer service these days!
