It would smell like a chip shop
Thanks Geoff
It'll get used but not as a daily
What's wrong with that.

I got mine disassembled in a garage in Poole, Dorset, and they were amazed that I had no rust underneath, after almost 25 years of continuous use.
The only rust I got was guess where under the rubber mats of the driver's cabin. Ouh!
But otherwise very clean!!
Rust is the Nr 1 killer of a car.
She looks great! Try perhaps another color, as I think that black is not so good for a Classic. Is it the original color?
Can't say i've seen a single classic that didn't have something rotten on it, you must have the only one. Did they take the body panels off yours ?
Chassis on mine was very good and mainly only surface rust but you cant check inside very easily hence
mine is being acid dipped and galvanized in zinc
Its Beluga Black and for me looks perfect on a classic, it wont be changing colour for sure

The weather conditions are better here in France so the cars don't rot away as fast as they do in the UK.
Maybe if they live all their life on the south coast in the sunshine
If they're up north then i doubt they'd be any better
A few pics sealing the shell with 3M body sealer etc, have a few more
areas to do and then it's off into the paintshop.

This is making me want to get my RRC hard dash rebuilt
Final prep on the engine bay
Engine and box cleaned & separated, the air tank and control
box back from the powder coaters. Just need a chassis now
