I've decided to bare metal the body, ready for a bodywork overhaul and repaint.

What a Shi**y job 😞

Not got very far with this, as I'm doing it out side, and it keeps raining 😤

I had a day off today, and managed a bit More, and then it rained😤

Dont know why but bare metal and no rust always appeals to me. As D-Fens says do it clear :) (I like Deloreans too lol) :)

The car had been ziebarted at some stage in its life, probably from new, the sill was full of bitumen, so still  on its original sills.
