Ok so here we are. I’ve stripped everything out of the shell, literally everything, so it’s ready to go for shot blasting.
Fortunatly there are no major surprises, although there are patches on patches in a few places and a few strange “fixes” like new outer A-Panels while the inner ones are rotten through, so there is very little holding the doors on! It’s had new front wings, but they have been badly fitted to the original inner wings, so will need some work. Probably carefull cutting off the new wings and then replacement of the old inner ones.
So it’s off to the shot blasters. I wonder how much will be left when it comes back?
While it’s there I’ll get stuck into the engine and gearbox!
