Nice work. I wish Sam had paid you to do his D*lly instead of letting me do it.

Wow looking good

Light in the distance ;)

The front hinge area on mine is going below the sealer between the hinge and body i know itll need doing in a few years, so that guide is re assuring that its easily possible for an expert

i have a D*lly too james same as yours, try to get some waxyoil into the cavitys
i have a very old waxyoil pump pressure container--it has a plunger to pump it up with air to pressurize it
and a long flexable pipe with a lance - it works a treat
(comes in handy if your consipated too) :mrgreen:

Cheers guys, yep I've seen another guide suggesting the tack and fill method.. I think I prefer my method to filler and crossed fingers.

Thanks for posting the hinge repair, I have always heard how daunting it is. The way you show it it looks involved but really not that bad with the right approach :D
