The first rub is the deepest

Weds.26.04.06. The front and rear wings together with the rest of the body panels have been made ready for the final preparation before being removed from the car then taken to Gordon the painter. It has been a day of rubbing down firstly the boot then alternatively the wings with 80’s followed by 130’s to flatten off the ‘tete’ . After which wet and dry was used to produce a baby’s arse texture. I also phoned Johnson and Potter of Edinburgh, who are Morgan agents, regarding various lighting parts as well as ‘retro’ over-riders for the car. Where possible we want to be able to fit the best and most appropriate parts to the car, so contacting main suppliers has become something of a priority. ‘Dave and Ian’ promised to get back to me with some prices, but I suspect selling ‘works’ parts for a ‘non-works’ model would be regarded as high treason within Morgan circles, probably banishing the pretentious Scotsmen to Hell, or for the rest of their working lives, selling ‘Nissan Micras’. So, I suspect, fat chance. 

Better news, however, came from Europa parts who will send me their current catalogue which contains many of the cosmetic stuff that will enhance the appearance of the car.
