Apologies, some of this is out of sequence...


Before I did the paintwork repairs, my motivation was flagging and Ste very effectively fixed that by buffing Olga to bring up a shine. It was a tough job, decades of fading to remove


refurbishing front bumper mounts


removed the rubber from the original bent front bumper


cleaned up the good front bumper from my spares. I needed to swap over the rubber insert from Olga's original because the replacement bumper is from a 1973 140, which has two shorter rubber sections with the number plate in between. Olga has a continuous rubber pad with the number plate mounted below the bumper.


Ste polishing


We removed the towbar. This is available free if anyone wants to collect it


I removed the very ineffective wing mirrors. A little rust around the mounting on this side
