Started cleaning the chassis down with a wire brush.
All this part of the car is still in good working order so it will just be painted later.

All bare metal. Think the car might look good in silver?

A bit of work with the hammer and some filler.😉

:birthdayIm thinking kustomkool has the right idea here... go the ultraswanky lo-rider gansta cabrio! He'll love it (both now and 18 odd years down the track when he decides to restore a big one!)

Fantastic!:bounce:bounce:bounce
