Merry Christmas everyone. Here are a few cars to identify if you find yourself at a lose end over the next couple of days. I am not sure how hard I have pitched this, some of them look very obvious. All I'll say is that not all are what they might at first appear. Pictures taken from the internet so variable quality. I've gone for British marques and have included Ford and Vauxhall, not every car will have been built in Britain though. Make and Model please, extra Kudos for accuracy Perhaps you could hold off posting up any answers until 26th Dec. Nick CAR 1 Triumph Toledo CAR 2 Vauxhall Carlton CAR 3 Ford Concol Granada mk1 CAR 4 CAR 5 TVR CAR 6 Morris Oxford Van CAR 7 Bedford CA CAR 8 Humber Scepter CAR 9 MGC CAR 10 Daimler 2.5 V8 post 1967 CAR 11 Wolseley 14 CAR 12 Armstrong Siddley CAR 13 Austin Kimberley CAR 14 Austin Princess CAR 15 Wolseley 1000

After chris did the sills work is slow due to work and weather and working outside but progress at weekends are best, interior is out to the bare bones , bit of rust to sort on the passenger front door to sort and a bit to sort behind the front bumper where the wing meets the front valance, boot and gutterings all sorted , worst bit is going to be around the wiper spindles , pictures to follow thank Wayne .

Cheers, Wayne. After a while, it "clicks" and you know how it should look and how you should do it. The jacking points were two of your old ones - there was rather more to work with! Ultimate re-cycling! That said, that weld on the left will have to be flatted back, cut away and re-done. The gas was sputtering at that point and the weld is flat and lacks penetration. I think we've decided that the centre panel is pretty critical to the overall strength of the car, so I want it to be right. Chris. I never throw owt away unless it is no good things can come in handy you never know , with cars this old you have to be one step ahead and recycle things , ps I seem to have lost photos on the forum , is it me ?

Bottom flange plug welded home. 50 upside down plug welds. Only 2 went completely wrong and had to be drilled out and re-done. Not happy with the flash rust appearing - it actually wipes off with a bare finger, but it'll have to be treated properly. So - front end of the centre membrane is the last major stuctural work to be done. Pretty horrible. Another non-existent jacking point... Grot cut out and refurbished jacking point attached at the top. Rear repair panel going in. Looks better. Run out of gas. That's it until tomorrow then. Get that panel fully welded, tidied up and the flange lined up properly. Chris. Looking good chris if you ever get fed up of welding you could become a surgeon

Scissor jack and a block of wood in mine. However, the jacking point is meant to be there, so it jolly well wil be! Chris. remember jacking my dads 1800 up at the drivers side and he opened the door onto the jack and put a big dent in the door with the jack,be warned.

Thanks - that makes real sense.
Headlights going out when you don't expect it can cause an interesting situation - but enough of laundry problems!
