We have two TR4s in here now, so I suppose it can get confusing keeping them straight.  They’re both red, too.  And both have needed a bunch of metal.  The one in these photos has been here longer and was the subject of this earlier post.  In addition to the battery box, the car needed metal on many different parts of the body.  It had been repaired earlier using the “It’ll do for a while” method.  I find consolation imagining that it kept the car going long enough to get it here.  The following photos show the new metal in the floors, sills, and battery box.  It’s beautiful work done by James Bowler of Weldone here in Richmond.  The man can bend some metal.  Take a look at the finished product and the things we found in the car.
