thanks everyone for their comments - they're all on the money

That looks painstaking

- some times it definitely was - I think the worst for me was after a 4 hour stint under the car in a space about 2 foot high grinding back all the welds under the floor - everytime I thought I'd finished I found something else

- then ended up at the eye specialist getting a piece of metal out of my eye.

Aaahh the memories, I had a similar experience. While grinding under the car a bit got in behind my safety glasses so off to the doctors who failed to get it out followed by casualty where they succeded.

glad to hear that DR

no eyesight = no drive

Back in October I had another trip to the blasters - Austec Dry Stripping at Chipping Norton. Great job. All the original hanging panels and a few other bits.

original glove box

spare...you'll see why down the line...this one came from the wreck of Revesby...http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... 11...those tiny screws holding the hinge on were a battle but I won in the end

A ring in tailgate - the original one was just toooo faaaaar gooooone!

Back from the blasters...all covered in Henkel paintgrip to keep rust at bay until priming.

a trip out to Protec at Minto got me the goods...

lucky for me Luis was in the neighbourhood...

now I don't have any photo evidence but I swear I DID prime the tailgate

...trouble was i took so long...we didnt have till Christmas...

...as this was rolling in...
