Update I have now bare metaled just about all the car what a job !!!!!! done it all with flap disc's on the angle grinder, waiting for Scott to get some filler on , he won't let me do it he said ( must have seen my other efforts ! ) done some shopping !! block sander about 18" long and various other bits that you need, been doing all the other little bits that are hard to get at ,also had to do some quotes for jobs that have come up and starting one next week should take 3 days , found bits and pieces that will have to be repaired but not that much rot just the usual in the front edge of the doors and some rust in the rear valence , not bad when you think that it has been here all its life from new that's it for now must go and do some more work will post a few pics later

On the contrary John, you and Scott have made big steps and the rest of the tin work looks good, keep it up and you will be picking up another one of "Budgies prizes" at the Nats. :thumbright:
