Downstairs Dave 37 Posted September 26, 2013 A little bit more done this evening, cleaned up the floor and the inside of the back panel. Also decided to remove the spring bracket for the boot lid as I want to use the Lotus type boot lid stay (MGB type). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downstairs Dave 37 Posted September 27, 2013 Very nice work. What do you use to get the paint stripped back and the metal so shiny? Good old paint stripper, wire brush and wire brush attachment in a drill. The best way is to do a small bit at a time..as the fumes can get to you.:wacko: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
