Of what goes on, 95% gets sanded off. Its looks exhausting from my perspective but very rewarding from an attention to detail perspective.

 

Now quite the “snow” drift under the car.

Now close enough to make it one colour to better see how close its getting.

 

Black, just like my soul….

One my favourite parts of tarting up old cars is that you are only ever a complacency away from a kick in the nuts….

Certainly not as bad as others have had. Unfortunately there isn’t an available piece for this so its all a big time consuming jigsaw where you have to make the pieces as you go.

But of course the top of the front edge needed work….

Fortunately it survived splitting the front edge and the wire wheel relatively well.

So it was welded up bit by bit.

 

A lot of extra surprise work for a door that looked “rust free”….

Little left and right stamps for the rear quarters. Hard to imagine these would be easily confused!

And the stamps are so small I image they might be hard to read on Monday morning or after lunch at the pub.
