In for a penny
Hi Mal,
I wouldn't have thought it was possible to find any more rusted panels as you r body repairer found everything he could.... obviously I was wrong. Well is that it for the body work? How far is he away from putting some paint on it?
Regards, Robin.

Robin,
Once that panel is done and the boot floor is back in, then we will strip the rest of the paint out of the passenger compartment, tidy up any areas that need it and it should be ready to paint. The floor pan has had repairs but seems to be solid. The only other things to do are enlarge the exhaust X frame passage and check out the windscreen frame. Fingers crossed there.

That is good to hear that the repairs are finally coming to an end. It has been an eye opener for me with all the work required, so I can only imagine what it has been like for you. I'm looking forward to seeing it returned to its former glory.

Robin, not sure when the paint will go on. I have to get the rest of the underseal off.Looking good Mal. So is that it? Is all the body work complete now? When are you planning to paint it?
Code: Select all
The exhaust cutthroughs are big. Do you have some funky exhaust in mind?
Cheers

I spent a morning under the car removing old underseal and found some more rust
. Panel man had to do this to get at it.

You can see a repair which has not been welded in properly to the left of the rust holes. That will need to be redone as well.
