Set about stripping the car ready for paint on Monday. The two main problems are below;

Rust along the front window seal



Rust on the rear door



It's going to (hopefully) have the front end done to include bumper, bonnet, wings and grills etc. The drivers door, rear passenger for the rust, the front screen area, a new front screen and the arches under-sealed. Depending on funds I might get the side skirts done as well.

Just took it slow and steady and got it all done in about three hours or so. The guy I use for paint is excellent and reasonable. He will not mask anything which I think is a good thing. It does mean everything has to be stripped out. Started by taking off the fog covers as they seemed easy.



All the arch liners were removed along with the bumper and front grills. I ended up with this



I stuck the bumper back on and the lights in to drive it over to the paint shop. I'll take the lights out when I drop it off. These are some of the bits sitting in my living room. Good job I don't live with a woman

Well it's back Paint all done

Bonnet, wings, bumper and all front grills etc, rear passenger door, front passenger door and side skirts. It got a new genuine screen, trim and also the rust around the screen repaired.

Started to rebuild it today;



Bonnet scoop



Front grill with new badge



The front fog lamp covers needed some new decals. I sourced these from Scoobyparts (www.scoobyparts.com) who made them to the required size



Trim fitting hurts.......



Next up is new tyres and a refurb of the alloys.
