Then came lockdown and repatriation but eventually, I could collect the car, guess beginning of June....round about there. Had to pull it out from under a hedge with a forklift and lifted it onto the trailer as it would not move


The idea was to keep it stock and just to "manage" the rust but it turned out a bit worse than originally anticipated.




I guess it's a bit like going to bed with the neighbor's daughter but waking up next to his wife...yuk

I really did not want to repaint the car but decided it was better to properly treat the rust, than to let it go up to a stage where major reconstruction was needed. I'm glad we did....after yanking off her panties, it revealed some real nasties.




So off to my paint dude. I instructed him to mask off the interior and only exterior. I am really out of space so was just to glad when he told me he could take her in "next week". Lockdown was bad for everybody but in particular one owner enterprises. He was just to glad to get going. "How long do you reckon?" I asked him..."ah...I would say 3 to 4 weeks" he responded. Great, I knew I had some space for at least 4 months

Ok, then I got busy and he never took pictures but this is where we are now. I should get her back by next week Friday.




I will need some parts soon but will ask you guys when we get there.
