    Had the car four weeks now, been on axle stands three and a half weeks, spent aprox 30 hours so far on the underneath, going through the ziebart and getting through to the factory underseal and primer, completed about 75%. Havent found any rot at all, both wells perfect, still retaining their factory underseal, and the masked off sections around the petrol tank sender and gauge sender and on the spare wheel bung, inside the chassis rails, around the tunnel, the paint is as good as on the car, outside of the rails where the factory underseal was, has now been removed, up to the edges of the outer seals, again perfect, have now gone right up to the bulkhead seam on both sides and again no rot at all, Today removed the nosecone, came off perfectly, sprayed every bolt with wd40 half an hour before i started, nothing broke, behind the nosecone its brilliant, no rot at all, not evern the light supports, no rot on the front valance at all, better than i could ever have expected, spent two hours on each of the lights taking apart and cleaning, all the interior is now in the loft, wrapped and put into one corner for safe keeping, have now removed rear bumper, spoiler, lights, petrol tank, badge and decals, YES, when i do sus out how to post pics, believe you me, i will, so far so good,

                would've used it a bit myself but i know what you mean, if it's not how you want it then things have to be changed.

                              Just a short update, still working on the floor, although coming to the end now, thankfully, havent found anything nasty at all, have now reached right up to the bulkhead, the Ziebart is really thick and sticky here, using a heat gun is helping, but i keep burning my fingers !!, Have spoken to a recommended bodyshop that John Hughes put me onto, he can take the shell, late August, giving me plenty of time to remove the last few bits and the basic engine now that all ancillieres have been removed, She,s looking pretty sorry for herself at the mo, put i,m confident it wont be for too long before she,s on her way back, keep looking at the shell thinking, am i doing the right thing, and the same answer keeps coming back, YES, to take the car where i want to, this needs to be done,
