More progress, more rust

Friday, March 4th, 2005

Has it really been six months? Time for an update. Things have been moving apace since last I posted. Well, actually things haven’t moved much at all. Found lots of rusty bits and holes. The front end now looks like this.  Not a pretty sight. A sensible person would be thinking of a re-shell by now, but where’s the fun in that?

Looking on the bright side, there are quite a few shiny bits too. You see what I did there? Oh, suit yourself. 

I’m currently creating lots of dust stripping rust and paint off to see which bits I’m going to have to replace. That would be all of it, then?

The offside inner wing looks particularly horrible, it’s mainly holes and patches.  But there again, I always knew this was going to be the worst area – I hope that turns out to be the case!
