The right side is now cleaned off, only a small amount of rust in the targa reinforcement area.

Is this factory premium welding ?

And after....

Im beginning to see the end now.....

Nice work

Looking at the rot around the base of that roll bar it makes you wonder how many older targas are running around with totally ineffective roll-over protection though

Very nice, Thomas.

How long do you expect it to be at the bodyshop?

thomas's legendary project deserves an 'in-action' shot to show a little of all his effort and work.
doing the below today in scandinavian winter is pure passion.
