Sorry chaps, but it looks like mine is going to be out of action for a while longer.

At this time yesterday i was quite excited about getting it back. All the welding had been completed, leaving just a few small odd jobs to do.

My :) soon turned to :( when I went to sort out my footwells.

My plan was to remove most of the original paint with a flapper disc, add a couple of coats of Hammorite zinc primer, then use a rubberised safety paint as a top coat.

Once I started to remove the paint from the drivers footwell, it soon became obvious just how bad the rust is. It looks like most of the drivers footwell is going to need replacing, and I haven't even looked at the passanger side or the rear footwell yet.

Oh well, back to the drawing board. :mad:

I did a little bit more on mine this morning, skimming the paint from the passanger footwell. Rust there isnt too bad, but still some sections of it need patching up. Rear footwells look fine. That just leaves varies holes from rubber grommits to be filed in, and my rock sliders to be seam welded to the sills.

After that, its just painting and re-fit the interior, and I'm good to go. Should be end of October at the latest, (fingers crossed).
