The bodywork finally laid bare. The whole structure was found to
be in amazingly good condition. None of the ash frame was either split
or rotten; the aluminium paneling was free from corrosion or denting.
Two small cracks were evident on the flange for the rear number plate aperture;
these were ground out and welded. |

This under-bonnet section of the scuttle is the only steel on the body
and was completely rust-free. |

On either side if the windscreen aperture there is a small drainage groove
to allow accumulated water to run to the outside of the car, away from the
ash frame. |
