Matthew Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 As a new member to the club, I’d like to introduce you to my 1970 Mk3 Spitfire. It is a bit of an unknown in terms of its history but the previous owner had already carried out a large proportion of the bodywork repairs, so thankfully this is a very solid car. It arrived covered in surface rust-covered primer, but after a few days in the garage over Christmas is now back to bare metal. This will imminently be treated with phosphoric acid and then primed before further repairs are completed. The engine is running but the brakes are seized. In the photos you will see my initial attempt at making a fresh dash with walnut veneer. I’m not fully satisfied with it so will have another go in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
