Re: Very overdue project !!!
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 !!
