| Restoring A33 TJN (page 9) |
| The doors,bonnet & tailgate that were on A33 TJN when I bought it had already been replaced once at some stage in the past except for the passenger door.However,they all needed replacing this time.I wasn't prepared to respray a dodgy item when all were available from breakers yards in good condition for peanuts....or so I thought. |
| Bonnet. |
 |
| Err..good..breakers yard.No chance with the bonnet despite my local having 12 mk2 Fiestas in stock at the time.So a new pattern item was bought from the Norwich Fiesta-centre for a very reasonable �40 |
 |
 |
 |
| As with the new bodyshell panels the transit primer was removed before it was etch primed,cellulose primed & finally topcoated.Do you like my orange grass?? |
| Drivers door. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This came from an E reg XR2.It needed cosmetic repairs on the lock hole & quarterlight surround before it could be painted.The E reg had been stolen previously. |
 |
 |
| Passenger door & tailgate. |
 |
 |
| These came off the same D reg fiesta I found in a corner of the breakers yard. In very good condition & only �10 each. |
| The door trim had to be removed,revealing pop rivet holes which needed filling. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The panels were in excellent condition considering the doner car had been in a large impact accident on the drivers side front corner. |
