Mind you though they are only predictions that the weather person is stating. however hope for them to be wrong isn't all that great, cause they are
only wrong when they say its good weather. funny how it works ...

Tell me about it...... I stripped off the floorpan yesterday - but need another hour or two before I blast a couple of spots, rust-convert, do a
couple of minor patches then paint. She's out there under a tarp in all her bare metal glory in the rain.

k. heres some pics. mind you, i had this car pretty much all together bout 2 weeks ago, but finalised that i had to do a respray. best to get it out
of the way now.
heres before and after shots.
BEFORE (Rust in pillars)
AFTER (pillars again). whole drivers side pillar and bit of wall replaced. passenger side had a few bits welded here and there... nuffin near as bad
as drivers side.
And the rougher side of novicenessness ness... (but solid and rust free:
Will be hidden under guard and with some black sound deadener stuff sprayed in there.
My garage and spray booth:
Collection of ebay trawling results: (all the spares i need. engine seal kits, carby rebuilding kits, cv boots, chrome fan belt guard, proper 1500
guages (with semi auto lights) and surrounding trim, roller pedal etc. etc.
I know it doesn't look like much, but mind you this thing was completely together one after noon, and when i finalised what i was going to do, it
took me only an hr and a bit to pull off the doors, strip the interior (what was left), remove the guards and the bonnet and the other bits....
