With ‘t Kreng’s water pump issues hopefully resolved (knock on wood), it was time for another chapter in the DHC’s body shell repairs. Today the rust free but badly accident damaged shell from a Solihull built Californian spec car (TPZDJ8AA4•••••), was dropped off at the workshop. This body will be picked apart to provide the necessary repair sections for my DHC that are still missing.
The most important bits this body will donate will be the sills on both sides, the right hand inner front wing and the rear bulkhead. This body used to be part of a complete and running low mileage (71.823 km) Californian PI car. I purchased this car in 2004 as a parts donor to help restore my 1980 DHC. But as it often happens the plans changed as the time passed! As a result the body with all the other parts were put in storage for well over two decades.
