Great project mate,
Did you go for a genuine scuttle pannel?
Iv'e got similar rust problems to you and have all this to lookforward too, going to wait till this miserable weather improves before getting stuck in!
Keep up the good work!

Yes I always use genuine scuttle. Very nice fit! And as you can see in pictures before. The windscreen fits ! very well actually.

If you need any advice just ask.

Evening!

Quick update..

Firstly, just want to apologise for the picture quality, I used my iphone and its no where near as crisp as the digital camera..

Managed to barcoat and prime the rear end today and get some guide coat on, next job is to flat the roof off and line the garage out with plastic before hitting the shiny black!

Pictures!







Also got a little bored last night so started on cleaning my seats up.

One cleaned, one not





Half and Half



Done





Came up alot, but want to get them deep cleaned to get them top notch!
