Hey pavan,
Great going! Sorry I too couldnt post because of being down in health this week!

Reg. gear pattern, 'hope this pic. will help. As Sidhartha says, for reverse, you need to press but move not exactly in first gear position but towards the left, then upwards.

The 3M antirust coat looks good!

If only I were able to try it out!

I will certainly take that wonderful offer.

And i really appreciate your Gesture.

Let me call you over the weekend.

Presently the upholstery is complete, just waiting for the painter to complete the rubbing and polishing.

PAVAN KADAM · 22nd October 2010, 20:50

Second coat of antirust coating sprayed 2 days ago.

So TATA bye bye... for rusting for a real long time now

Seats are ready, doorpads are almost done. Just waiting for the painter to do the finishing touches and the tinker to do some door adjustments.

After this the car is good to go from the workshop.

The project is almost on its last leg.

Got the much needed rubbing and polishing, The paint job is as expected and stunning

Few pending jobs, that will be completed over time, but most probably, in a couple of days time,the car will make its journey to its masters house

1) Need to fit the ready upholstery
2) Need to do little bit of touch-up paint
3) Need to do the carpeting.

Awesome, pavan! The car sure has transformed from what it was before you restored it, but for a few minor touches!

BTW, I still have the spare bonnet catch to replace the broken one on the left!

Also are the rear window trims on either side yet to be sourced? Or taken off for the rubbing/polishing?

Thank you Shyam.

Well i might require the bonnet catch, will let you know when. I have only LHS chrome trim, the RHS is missing

Finally after a looooong wait, got the seats today.Once the rooflining and the door pads are done, this car is ready to go.

@ Pavan,
The car now really looks nice & red hot, & that carrier placed over dicky adds much needed detailing to the rear of the car.
Once again congrats for getting yet another Indian masterpiece to its original glory almost.

Thank you very much.

Few spares are becoming hard to come by, will be taking stock of those much needed spares by tomorrow and the search will be ON to search them.

There is still lot of detailing left on the car to be done, hopefully, i am giving myself another week before i finish and sign off from this project.

Any time buddy

Dont worry, i am yet to post some finished pics of this car.

Will take out time from my busy work schedule sometime and post them.

Let me know, when you need my assistance, will be glad to help

PAVAN KADAM · 23rd May 2011, 18:47

Its been 6 years that i've been having this Car with me

And exactly 1 year since the restoration started. I must admit, British cars are difficult to restore, only for the lack of spares availability.

This car is Complete, but only few things pending

1) Quarter glass rubber beading - Not finding
2) Window scrapers - Not finding, might do some jugaad on this
3) Fuel tank fitting - Will be done tomorrow.
4) Brake Master cylinder - Original not available, so altering it.

But most importantly the Car is up for SALE..

Anyone interested can pm me, will put them on to the Owner directly.

The q'glass beadings are indeed rare now, even in the UK!

What are scrapers btw?

Do you need only the cyl. kit or the whole cylinder??
