Well done, you're making great progress there.

Well, I can't believe my last post was September. Loads has happened to me since then but not much to the poor old RS
It came back home again late October (courtesy of Kev - thanks again, mate)



and now my life, and my garage is sorted enough to begin the build up. Gonna start with stripping all the paint to uncover any more nasties (can there BE any more?) Front and rear panels first so I can get it back on the rollover frame.

I applaud you. I really look forward to seeing the transformation of your vehicle.

Isn't it amazing how you can set aside a whole weekend to get out in the garage - and then a load of cr*p stuff comes along to stop you doing it
Now I'm away next weekend -so that's another week gone
Anyway, I grabbed a couple of hours and this is the story so far....

Well, here we are 6 months on. The poor old girl has been stored outside and, unfortunately, before I got the chance to get some primer on it. So the bare metal looks kind of sad.



So I spent today with a new wire brush and things are looking a bit better now.




I guess I'll need the shot blaster gun to get behind here...

great to see still making some progress

[south west restorations]

good to see some updates m8.keep up the good work.
a havent touch mine for over year .just moved it next to me .
get to it one day .

[Oldbloke]

Well, I actually found some time to escape into the garage to spend a little quality time with my pride and joy.
Managed to get a little primer on the bits I had already stripped







Turned my attention to the wing first.



Came up not too bad. There are some ingrained rust spots that will need closer attention with a spot blaster before primer.



Just fancied doing the rear wing next.



Really pleased with the metalwork underneath here - just a spot of filler to be removed.





So nice to see a bit more progress at last - don't know when the next opportunity will arise but definately getting the "urge" to crack on
