Image.....Couple of random pics from last year. Still ongoing once weather permits...Mainly bits here and there,usual rust traps,been cutting out all the old joint and seem sealer i could get to,cleaned it up,then re-sealed it with Por patch 15.Suprising how many clean looking joints have the beginings of rust,once you dig the old stuff out.Will put a few more up soon.

There's a lot of joints that are bare metal where the two pieces join, so when the sealant doesn't seal any more, they rust. Top of the bulkhead to the flat piece where the fusebox sits is the most recent one I found - bright shiny bare metal at one point, until the bit where the sealant had dried out.

Dunno if you are interested, but I have some cans of paint that were specially matched and mixed for the colour of you car... My old GLS project which got defuncked was the same colour copertone.

Have 7 cans. If interested, give a £10 donation to Whizz-Kids for the end to end drive.
