Seeing as I had got the week off work to re-roof the garage extension and shed and the weather was against me I thought I would make a start on tidying things up
The pre MOT the car went through before I got it had highlighted minor rusting of suspension and steering arms so that was as good a place as anywhere to start;
sanded off with sanding disks, wire brushes and good old emery paper

sanded down blisters and any areas of under body sealant that was in poor shape

the bottow of the off side wing was solid but the paint was in a bad way so off it came

wishbones etc...

then painted with anti rust primer

then painted with hammerite smooth

moved onto the offside rear and subframe plus the sill and seams

Its taken about 30 hours so far, I reckon 50hours will do one side, hopefully the same to do the other side
