mungaman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Tom, Love how your Tilly is coming together. It's hard to find Tilly doors. I think your solution is superb. I've made the interior of the doors from some "woodboard". It's the kind used between metalsheets. Do you have the winding mechanism for the windows? superb work tom ! trouble is when finished and shown sadly most people will think thats how you bought it.....pity it cant be displayed showing all the effort youve put into it!!!!

Higgins kpt. Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you Arjan, have this side windows mechanisnus, but its compostion from Austin 10 and Tilly mechanismus, orig. Tilly was without springs and little broken. make picture headlamps holders, short is Austin 10 and long is orig. Tilly, think its interesting detail, and my collection holders and lights ready for my Tilly, one more interesting detail is different between left and riht side(?)
