Well, not much of it, but I've started installing the interior. The bonnet and the doors are all that is left now to cut and buff. But that's for a different video. Enjoy, stay safe, and stay healthy!

Your nearly there Chris, this is the part where all the little detail piece you spent so long cleaning and painting will shine and make Dorothy look stunning.

I hope so. This is probably also where all those little detail pieces will drive me crazy!! Thanks, John. Be safe!

Nice, makes me all nostagic as I drove a MK III in that exact colour combo back in the 90's 🙂

@@roundtailrestoration Yes, very underrated IMO. Mine was tatty when I bought it and I gradually restored it bit by bit on a very limited budget (I was a student/shipping trainee at the time). I drove it all year round, top down from March to October and with hardtop in winter - even dug it out of the snow occasionally. Unfortunately it was totalled in an accident immediately after it was completed, which was a big blow - started over restoring an equally tatty TR6 which I sold in mint condition when my wife told me she was pregnant. But despite having had all sorts of classic cars since - MGA, Willy Jeep, a few classic Land Rovers and a Mercedes Pagoda (I still have a Land Rover and the Pagoda), I've never really loved a car like I loved my Spitfire called "Betty". Looking forward to binging the rest of your vids :-)

Looks amazing Chris, you are doing an incredible job!! Don't worry about microscopic paint chips, there's no perfection in Life! You must be proud of the transformation and the skills you have picked up, thanks! Stay safe.

Great progress Chris! I know that is a very exciting stage of the restoration. After each visit it starts to look more and more complete and it is hard to leave at night :) you just wanna stay there and stare at the details you just finished and the entire picture.... Good for you for being so persistent. Soon she will be your daily driver and she will turn heads wherever you go.

Elin! How have you been? Yes, it's pretty cool seeing significant changes each visit. Not so sure about that daily driver part, but maybe frequent driver!

Hi Chris, Everyone stay healthy out in RU-vid land! Sorry my technique of using the XXXX steel wool and WD-40 did not get the pits out. Maybe you could write below if the buffing or steel wool was easier or works better based on your efforts. Keep up the great work and soon you will be driving around with the top down making your neighbors jealous. Tom
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 4 года назад
Hi Tom. I don't think it was the method, I just think the pits are too deep and probaby cannot be gotten out. I'm going to revisit them, though. Thanks and you stay healthy!

Thanks, Brian. It is a pleasure now with each visit. Much less frustration than over the last year or so of painting.

Looks great. Can’t beat red with black interior. Nice job.
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 4 года назад
Thank you. I like the opposite way, too, black car with red interior. I find that more of an aggressive look, if you know what I mean, but still very nice. Cheers!

Nice job on the install...I used the 3M and was pleased with it...I also used my wife's hair dryer to heat the vinyl so it fit over that rear wheel well with no wrinkles....I love that sound deadening material where did you get it? I like the molded carpet kit and will use it on the GT6....I used the "fitted" kit on the spitfire....was ok but did not meet expectations...was out driving the spitty this weekend around the neighborhood as we are not really supposed to be out unless going to work or the grocer or doctor......was worth it...lol soon you will be doing that with Dot and you will have the time of your life...Anyhoo...stay safe and healthy!!!

Sorry, Robert, missed you comment. Hair dryer is a good idea, I'll have to try that. I got the sound deadening stuff at Amazon: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URUIKAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You stay healthy, too!

Hello Chris Is it a Newton moulded carpet? Great job
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 4 года назад
Hi, Marc. Yes, it is. I picked it up from Rimmer Bros when they were having a sale. It's very nice. Not a perfect fit by any means, but much better than I understand the non-moulded ones to be. Expensive, though.

what is the workshop manual do you use
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 3 года назад
Hi Doug. I'm using the factory one from Triumph. You can find an early version (doesn't include the Mk3) on the web in pdf form.

Maybe you could modify the over-rider to match the original? I'm sympathize with the situation, I'm tired of supplier selling poor reproduction parts. Stay safe
@roundtailrestoration
@roundtailrestoration 4 года назад
Yes, very frustrating. Especially since it's not like they are hard to find for copying. I think the threaded rod is just a long bolt, but haven't verified that. I might be able to cut it down and then thread it out. It's probably tacked in there, though.
