Stripping and repainting continues


All door jams  are stripped back to metal, will paint in metal etch primer.



Picked up a belhousing, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel which bolts up perfectly to my manual gearbox .
Not sure if I'll change it back to manual transmission but at least the option is there to make original.


Back of these panels a re in really good condition, i'll just treat them and coat of paint to retain all the original numbers.









Guards and doors have been dipped  and all rust and paint removed.
all the seams have been flushed and treated so no chemical reactions continue after painting and I'll leave to dry in the heated attic for a week,







This was a lot of work to strip and clean, will need some work done before it goes back on the car.





Another full days work to strip and paint the rear panels.



Starting to look like a car again.
