hi all
started work on the respray today
as usual it will be more like a mild resto after i took the paint off the sills,lower nose widscreen frame etc
but i had a very productive day i replaced the lower nose section and repaired the windscreen frame and some other small sections.
tomorrow i will replace both sills and repair the rear drivers corner then its sand,sand,sand.
shoud'nt take to long as she is very straight.

so it was out with the welder again.
