Nice! Unortunately you'll find now that, if the body has been vertically on its side for 4 months without the doors in, it will no longer be 'square' when you upright it. You'll most likely also now have a crease line in the roof just between the 'B' Pillars.





















































only joking! Like the roller set-up. Self made?

All done by myself took 4 months,scraped underseal off by hand,used wire wheels on end of electric drill to remove the rest,then blasted the rusty pits,then zinc ptimed,then filled any pits with high bulid primer,then flattened,then primed again,still to be flattened once more before top coat.
Wore out 2 electric drills and umpteen wire wheels doing it.
PHEW ! :cheers: :cheers:

I know what you mean about wearing stuff out, was on my fourth B & Q hot air gun, they started getting fed up with me, kept taking back guns covered in underseal and crap, i kept smiling and they kept obliging,
