It's a good feeling mate, I've come a long way from the first day when I was crapping my pants cutting the front panel off :-)

We stripped the doors today of glass, handles etc and fired up the grinder. You know the feeling when you wish you never bothered...

There's been a couple  of dodgy repairs in the past, seen as the car was only 10 years old when it was taken off the road shows how crap the rust protection was in the old days

So that's 2 new skins added to the list as well as repairs to the door bottoms. Balls!
