Hi guys,
Well all the mechanical work completed, so I have started to strip and primer the panels, ready for when the weather breaks and I can get the colour on it.
Took the drivers front wing off and got the shock of my life, it’s like brand new under the inner wing and the door pillar !!

...I am in Essex near the Dartford crossing, and I will of course try to help out if anyone else is in need.
Not a million miles from me in Colchester then :)

You must also be very close to Essex Rotary in South Ockendon too - do you know Aston?
