I have tried to show all the worst bits of the rust and how it looks now, the problem is, as it is with all old vehicles, as you remove one bit of rust there is another bit waiting underneath and another etc!!! I am very happy with the work so far and can't wait until the top coats start going on and I will update these comparisons to show all stages of the work.

Let me know what you think ladies and gents as it would be great to get some feedback.

Regards
Nik

Latest pics of the resto...

Inside

Above engine bay looking good

Very little trace of the work on the rear arch

The rear view is looking a lot better

The door has had some surgery as you can see from the scars inside!!!

Not sure on the Pastel white, it's a bit too creamy for my liking but going to reserve final judgement until the other colour is on and dry.

Finally the door has been repaired and primed ready for the top coat!!!

Not sure why the rear wheel is off, maybe its getting painted!!!

Engine dress-up is next on the list!!!
