CS 405 the S.A. Traveller 1000

[wolseley 1000]

Do you remember?
2008 I bought this car and he was introduced on the first mk1-forum. Now, more or less three years later, after importing two new doors from Australia, etc. the panel beater has finished his work and he is presently getting some new paint.

2008 when I bought him



2012 going to get some nice paint (mercedes gold 917)

Mmmm, tasty. The shell is looking excellent even in it's present state.
I wish mine had that much paint on it.

[wolseley 1000]

[wolseley 1000]

[wolseley 1000]

no I´m not teasing
I sometimes get the impression that CS 405 is teasing me ! !

[JC T ONE]

Love the details = stamping in innerwing, and the BMC sticker on the rocker cover.

Car looks really nice, lets see some more

[captain]

superb paint job, like it be nice to see it built up,keep up the good work

[InimiaD]

Mmmm. That looks gawjus.
You must be really pleased with the paint job.

[wolseley 1000]

believe it or not, I haven´t seen more of the paintjob than you but what I´ve seen was perfect. will send more pix next week

[wolseley 1000]

looking forward to take him home next week .........

[georgek]

Wow, that's a great paint job I like the colour.

[wolseley 1000]

according to the guy who did the paint job this gold is an absolute horror to do. while working on it you hardly see if its already done or its to lees. as far as i´ve seen now there are no tears anywhere and it just feels very nice to touch......

[sclemow]

Nice one, love the colour!

[guru_1071]

wow.


that just looks great.


there is no better stage in a restoration than a freshly painted shell, just waiting to be re fitted

[wolseley 1000]

that is so true and you simply don´t want to look back how it all began.........

[JC T ONE]

Thats a "walk in the park" cant se any problems with that nice shell.

was there any rust at all ?

Looks awesome now, fantastic job, keep posting pics

[surfblue63]

It good to see a car painted in a different colour to the standard BMC palate.

Looks like the gold they painted early E-Types in.

[36inter]

That is a stunning job, that colour looks so right, beautiful.

Wow ! It looks very very nice - and I am usually not a fan of metallic colours.

Just a question please : what about the rectangular pressing where the starter floor button goes on an early 850 ?

Cheers
