In 1953 the new Prefect 100e was launched followed shortly by the Anglia 100e. Then the 1940's Anglia E04a was fettled and relaunched as the Popular 103e which remained in production until mid 1959. Then, the 100e Anglia was discontinued and again fettled and relauched as the Popular 100e (1959). Then of course in 1959 we saw the launch of the 105e Anglia. The Prefect 100e was...

Has anyone experience of having car body panels galvanised prior to painting. I know the galvanising process can warp panels and that it also might be difficult for paint to stick to a galvanised panel but is it viable. Thanks Smokeyone

Any suggestions of a Ins Co that might give me a good price. Haven't tried the SD1 club, as I'm not a member but maybe it would be worth joining if they've negotiated some favourable rates. I'll email them but there doesn't appear to be any info on their website re insurance. TIA Mike.

Somebody on this newsgroup has kindly recommended a place in Glasgow, but I just thought I'd ask if somebody knows of a good garage for servicing & repairs a little closer to home, in Edinburgh. Many thanks '69 Mercedes 280SL '65 Volvo Amazon '87 Ford Capri 280

One other quick question. Does paint, wax etc on the back of the panels being welded have an adverse effect on the weld - even although the fronts and faces are shiny clean? -- *To steal ideas from *one* person is plagiarism; from many, research* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

My mate has run his own bodyshop / restoration business for twenty years or more, and I don't think he even possesses a mask or extractor. I am always amazed at how he seems to be unaffected - I go outside when he sprays a small panel, I hate to think what a full respray would kick out. I know he uses mainly cellulose but I think he does some 2-pack stuff too. He probably wouldn't recommend it to...
