I should probably make clear that Barry Carter's business is not called Barry's House of Fine Welding. Or indeed Karterwerks. Official name is "911 and Vintage".

Anyway we went straight from the blasters to Barry's place near Hastings, stopping at home overnight to load up the new panels. Not quite enough hours in the day, as usual, so these loading pics are unnecessarily arty night shots.

We made it OK. Thanks again to my Discovery and trailer owning friend Graham.

My car is next on the Celette, after someone's rather nice Targa has departed.

I feel excited, but also apprehensive. I've got some idea of the post-blasting state, but it's Barry's expert eye (and jig) that will reveal how good or bad the shell really is.
