This is a 1966 Spitfire which belongs to a good friend of mine. He knows (knew) shat about bodywork, so I have been helping/teaching him about bodywork and paint. Since he owns: a 1964 Midget, a 1970 GT6+, a 1970 MGB and a 1971 MGBGT in addition to this car, he's gonna need all the training he can get.
The pictures start about a year into the rework of this lost automotive soul. We spent a fair amount of time in that year restoring enough rigidity to the shell so the doors would close properly when you sat in it. It was a good 'un to learn on. If it could have been done wrong previously or needed fixing, it was on this poor little car. I swear it looked like tin popcorn when we first started. We finally were able to polish it out today 8/10 and I am very happy with the way it turned out, if I do say so myself.
