The scissor hinges take more work but they open up nicely and stay open to provide easy access to the cab area.
This close-up shows how I started. I made the decision to put in the iron hinges first, then mask them with liquid misket before putting in the wood grain. In hindsight, I wish I'd masked the hinges first and then completed the wood grain as I had some problems as I removed the misket, but I was able to overcome that. I always plan my paintings and paint them in my mind, actually listing the steps I intend to take in numbered form. This helps me when some time elapses between sessions and I lose track of where I left off and what I intended to do next. Such notes are not cast in stone, and I might vary them as I go, but I have a foundation on which to build my painting.
Cobalt Blue seemed match the blue throughout this piece, and after using misket on the protruding nuts and bolts, I worked wet-in-wet with some pure Burnt Sienna, my favourite rust colour.
Interesting relationship I just realized. It's not overly strong, but so long as your hinges aren't warped, they shouldn't flop around too much. Just one more reason to shoot the guy who decided to stop producing these hinges.
Apologies for the picture quality. I didn't have very good lighting for this shot.

The old pin and hold-open roller were removed using a dremel with a cutoff wheel to cut their tabs and then tapped out with a hammer.
Note how the new hold open roller will bolt into place...
(--upper left image)
Parts were stripped to bare metal, primed, and painted.
Before painting, I had masked the holes where the bushings and hinge pins go in, the hold open roller, and the hinge pin where it would ride in the bushings.
No need to clog the bushings with new paint and make the pin harder to insert.
Note the position of the bushings and where the masking tape was on various parts...

The bronze bushings were pressed into place using a vice. Old socks worked great for protecting the new paint.

I should have masked the hold open cam where it rides on the roller, but I forgot. I used a razor blade to carefully scrape off the paint to keep it from contaminating the cam and roller.
Here came SNAFU #1!
A painted hinge pin will NOT insert, even with a thin layer of paint. I had to use another unpainted pin. The two parts were mated and the hinge pin carefully inserted.
The paint was protected with a cloth and the bottom pin area was supported with a socket. I tapped in the pin with a hammer. Actually, it was more of a severe beating… Another reason to assemble before painting.
The hold-open spring was put into position, the detent cam pulled back with channel lock pliers wrapped in cloth, and the hold open roller unit dropped home.
(lower right image)
This inserted easily even after being painted. The cam was released and the roller unit secured with its Allen head bolt.
The unpainted hinge pin was carefully painted and the assembled hinges were set away for the paint to cure…
Lesson learned – install the bushings and hinge pin before paint – it is much easier to do and there is less risk in damaging the paint during assembly.
Lastly, the bolts needed resto.

A detail from the Victorian door. A little TLC wouldn't come amiss but you can still see the elaborate and completely OTT workmanship on the door hinge.

Radical styling for Morris, with a water fall grille and headlamps in the wings, though this appears to have the Lucas bug eye conversion, available to improve visability, in the wings, rear hinged bonnet, proper boot and no running boards. But still with a separate chassis and the same engine though now with a four speed gearbox as the earlier model. Available as a 2 or a 4 door Saloon or a 2 or 4 seat Tourer. with only the Saloons continuing post war.

Cast Iron strap hinges for doors become an elegant abstract pattern in this photo. The variety of shapes, sizes and patterns, but the replication of shapes and motifs keeps the photos interesting. Parts from HouseofAntiqueHardware.com

Hinge time!
Since the doors would be coming off anyway, the hinges needed lots of attention.
The upper was a GM replacement which was rusty, but reusable (left picture). It has good bushings, so it will be just sanded, wirebrushed, and painted.
Skuzzy would not begin to describe the lower one (right picture). This will take quite a bit of elbow grease, new pin & bushings and new hold-open roller…
A complete overhaul so to speak.
First, the door panel and all small parts were removed from the door. Kick panel and door sill were removed and an old towel covered the floor to protect the new carpet.
After disconnecting the battery, the power lock and speaker wires were cut and pulled into the door. The lock wires got a set of connectors attached to their ends, and the door side got their mates.
The garage was cleaned enough to make up a safe area for the door once it was removed. Lots of carpet and padding was used to protect the paint.
The door edges and fender edges were wrapped in masking tape to protect from chips. A sharpie pen was used to mark the hinge locations for easier reassembly. Alcohol will remove the marks later.
After supporting the door well and removing the bolts from the door, and keeping a firm grip on it, it came off without issue. When the last bolt came out, I slid the door rearwards to clear the painted area. I lifted the door, kicked the stool away, and set it on the ground. Not bad for a one man job…
I marked the hinges ont he frame side and removed the hinges.
Wow! These were tough. You would never imagine that a hinged door would be that difficult. But it was.

It was on this day of photography that I was approached for the first time by someone who had a possible objection to my actions. As I was wandering round the small industrial estate on a Sunday afternoon, I was almost satisfied with the pictures I had taken so far. Shortly after taking a photo and walking back towards a road, a black 4x4 drove up the road towards me; I presumed they were perhaps asking for direction. It turned out to be the estate's security patrol officer who had been alerted by some of the units who had seen me on CCTV. He questioned me about the photos I was taking and I simply responded that I was interested in the colour and shapes the buildings had to offer, and being the open soul I am, offered to show him the photos. He wasn't bothered, but seemed satisfied that I wasn't there to scout out the security. "In that case I had better cancel the Police then. he said. I thought that was a good idea.
