Over the winter Doris has been in the safe hands of JBT for an engine in front end restoration. I was thankful that the front end didn't have as much corrosion as the rear...
The main work consisted of new slam panel, radiator support cross member, Eiffel towers both sides, bumper corner supports, corrosion rectification and paint.

That's pretty much it for this year I think. Future plans include reconditioning the rear subframe once the rear disc stone chip covers arrive, and maybe a new paint job at some point- although TBH the paint isn't too bad on the old girl. There is however a small bubble of what looks like corrosion on the N/S front bumper that will need to be sorted. Until next time...
