dont forget to remove the triangle gussets that are welded to crossmember in the engine bay and inner wings, on the clubman front these are different.
so to fit the bullnose you need them from the MPI

good luck. I love clubby estates how they are, but to each his own.

If you want to make sure the wood stays rot free get down to your local Chandlers ( boat shop ) and ask about West System Epoxy resin! 2pack

I use it on all of my boats its brilliant. nut if you want a varnish. You'll need Internaitonal 2-pack varnish (again from a chandlers) normal 'yacht' varnish in the shops is cack and fails due to UV i.e the sun.

Hope this helps

[Littlegizmos]

checked to see if the wood will fit ok

[Littlegizmos]

update
had the doors and bonnet painted


had to buy another pair of rear doors first as the others needed to much work









shell will be fitted with new sills and painted soon

[Littlegizmos]

got the shell back last week









all i got to do now is put it back together

[carboy001]

That is one nice woody!

Paintwork looks top notch as well, you must be chuffed

Hi..A little advice from a Tradesman use PV67 sealer ansd PV67 gloss varnish this is a 2pk varnish and coat frame with sealer and then use a fine 320 grit s/paper then 3 coats varnish and then fit to estate.........this will last longer than Polyurathane..............good luck and looks stunning...............
