Started stripping the paint and getting it ready for rust repairs, havnt fount much hidden rest yet, but the front has had a hit and has been heat shrunk though. Been using a combination of paint stripper and sanding pads, works well. Will probably get the door jams, window frames and a few other bits blasted.

Yes very straight, and relatively rust free, but does has rust in a few areas, and I am finding more, I am noticing that it has been resprayed in a few areas so not as original as I thought so I dont feel as bad going back to bare metal.

looks the goods jeff -luv the walk thru -we going to see it at the next oldbar?

Not sure when it will be ready, it will be heading to Tony in the first week of April for the panel work. Then from there it should progress pretty quickly. The only problem with the walkthrough is that it is a US walkthrough and the larger seat mount is on the wrong side, so the driving set up is wrong. I have a solution but need to talk to Tony and see if it will pass an engineers inspection. Not sure if I will be at Old Bar this year, would love to go but my favorite music festival has been apparently moved to the same weekend.

Body Shop Auto Refinish Products, 4L can about $60, works well on the original paint but not the best on the new stuff especially when its got a skim coat of filler under it.
