Hi Friends,
Just a couple of pictures to share today. While still on the quest of
lifting the tub away, I removed the lower firewall bulkhead yesterday
and freshened it.
Here's how the piece looked after degreasing and stripping what
remained of the black paint, followed by a coat of primer. In this
picture, the primer is still wet.

You can see in that picture that a couple of the bolt holes are
deformed and one flange is slightly bent. After the primer dried, I
straightened all the deformities before painting. Here's how it
looks, hanging in the garage while the black paint dries.

Perhaps its worth stating that I am not building a show car, or even a
restored 'correct' car. I'm building a driver. And with that said, I
am not making big changes either, like 5-speed gearboxes or worse.
I'm just saving a rusty old relic, to be pretty, to run well, and just
to putter around the neighborhood. I have other cars for
'frighteningly quick', 'super luxurious', and 'truly correct'. This
car, like my TR3, if just for play time.
Probably didn't need to say any of that - but I did.
