Ahem... after all this time I've finally managed to get the project moving again 
A few things conspired to bring things to a halt in the middle of last year but thankfully I've now got some progress to post
So.... first it was engine out
With the oil tank out, some nasty rot in the opening for the filler neck was revealed...
Other probem areas for further investigation were:
Sills:
Door shuts were also just starting to bubble up, and the usual problems at the base of the a-pillars
Passenger side the worst, the drain tube that runs down inside from the sunroof seemed to have all but dissappeared, excellent!
Fuel tank was already out, spent a fun few hours getting the sealer off, some stubborn old stuff that. Its now covered in a shiny few coats of black POR15 - I know its not factory but I thought it would look fab with a nicely detailed fuchs spare sitting on top
Car was then ready for the blasters, here are some shots post-blast:
mmm
Next stop, the esteemed workshops of Mr Moss... more pics to follow!
