Inner apron and engine rail was bent..(much to my surprise for such a light hit)...and I brought it to my friends frame shop to get it pulled....He has been slammed with work, and has been unable to get to it yet....

It's looking good. :thumbsup

How much trim do you remove around the top when you paint a convertible? As I recall from restoring a convertible, some of that trim was glued on and difficult to remove. My car was a Midget so the brits probably build them differently than we do.

On this car that black trim stays on and gets masked off....There were very few of these built, and trim parts, when you can find them....are expensive
