Lots of pics of the grubby stuff please

Cheers mate.
Loads of grubby stuff to come

Started stripping the car down.Only a few bits left to remove and then its off to be blasted.
Never been welded anywhere.No patches on floor or chassis.

How long did it take you to strip it down that far? It looks like you aren't wasting any time on getting stuck in.

12 hours I spent on it.
cheers paul

You work fast!

What a daunting project! Having read through your threads however im sure this is gonna be epic...makes me almost ashamed of worrying what to do about the microblisters on my new projects paintwork now! (Still dont know what to do mind - trying to be cheap and avoid the inevitable respray)

There were only two decent cars when I was a lad at agricultural college - a Minor Traveller that our pedantic machinery lecturer drove and the '65/6 Mk1 Lotus Cortina that our "beef cattle" lecturer drove (like a maniac). I suspect the project will look a lot better than the six-year old one that the lecturer had!

Not bad going - four pages and the car has hardly been touched yet!! This page is bookmarked now!

.... is this 'production line speak'?

FWIW I believe someone found a Russian Subway Token, under the carpet of a Soviettski 'resto' they had on...:<)
