1968 Austin 1100 Mk1 (Take 2)

Thanks.
I think that I'll wait until all this shit is over though as they'd probably pull a crown off. I must be falling to bits as I managed to do that with just a fruit pastille whilst at the baggage reclaim conveyor in Tenerife a couple of years ago.
The evils of old age, I haven't even being able to eat pork scratchings for a few years now as they fuck my teeth up. At least Broadside and Speckled Hen are liquid.

Tell me about it! I cracked a back molar three years ago on a bit of pork scratch. Bloody dentist kept repairing* it instead of taking the bastard out until the first day of lockdown I made him take the bastard out. Two further weeks of bleeding sinus and dry socket later it finally stopped hurting after three years. I don't even eat granary bread now....

I have to go into hospital to have things like my teeth out.
As a kid I crashed my knackered old pushbike into a brick wall which buggered the inside of my nose up, so I'm a true mouth breather to a large extent. I had an op when I had BUPA but it only improved things for a few weeks as the fucking bone grew back to what it was, not what it should be.
I'll shut up now as the only link to ADO16s is one of my schoolmates at the time had one a couple of years later where the passenger door flew open as we were going down steepish hill in Leeds. He replaced it with an Allegro 1750SS which, at the time, I reckoned was a far nicer car, maybe because the door locks and most other things worked.

Linky missing, sorry, here it is...

I don't know if they're still open (I think they might be), but if you go over to the precinct in Congresbury (left at the lights after the bridge) they had a little newsagents that sell boiled sweets from big jars in quarter pound increments.

I can't see it on Streetview but that has quite old pictures. Shows the now Debbie Fortune offices as freshly refurbished and To Let.

Wind caught the door and banged it against the house brick work taking a chunk of paint out. About the size of a finger nail



Need to find a colour match so I can touch up bits like this.

Not done much on this today. Got up late, went to Moss to pick a few bits up and then ended up doing some DIY in the house.


I'm now doing much needed garage sorting ready for it to go in tomorrow.

Bugger on the door, that's rather annoying.

It's to be expected and bound to happen. I'm clumsy.

See MGB wing where there is a run of top surface of paint removed. Split brake fluid and it ran down the wing. Only noticed like 20mins later but too late by then. Thankfully not to bare metal.

It is why I'm not fussed about owning concourse condition cars.

taking a chunk of wob out.

FTFY.

[SiC]

Yeah likely a skim of filler over it before paint. I've got that problem on the front wing of the Dolomite to deal with when that's back.
