X-pack resto.. just started..

[Troll]

A few more hours were done on the "X" yesterday, Richie just seemed to find more rust on the outer inner O/S front wing, all cut out now, just got to put new metal back in.

I spent my time on my back removing all the underseal from the boot floor.. looked ok, the only slight rust was from where the panhard rod had been welded in. Not a very nice job tho, I was covered in the stuff !

Pics uploaded after the next installment.

So part time I had to work on it on my own today

Been laying under the car today stripping off the underseal from the boot floor, its looks pretty good thanks to the protection... only some surface rust from where the panhard rod had been welded in place.
Here's a few pics.. still lots to do but I only know one one small bit of welding underneath so can paint it pretty quickly.... :?
