It should probably be noted at this stage of updating that, again, a lot of work was carried out in between photos in terms of tidying rusty bits up along the floor and sills, etc.

The old girl in primer
Bonnet was worse than I thought, and had no choice but to repair it after spending a couple of days fitting the GTE bonnet vents. Those took me ages - you only get one shot, so there was no room for error.
Ended up spraying the bonnet in reface to combat any sinkage, as was almost guaranteed with that amount of cataloy on it.
Passenger's door was relatively okay, with only a few expected dings here and there. The driver's door, however, was pretty bad once I had a closer look, and so after skimming the entire door gave it a coat of the reface before primer just to be on the safe side in terms of getting the repair more spot on.

Yeah, have noticed some minor differences between producers of the kits. Quite liked the front end plates on both chassis legs with this kit in terms of how they folded down and round towards the underside of the chassis legs.
great work!!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
Brilliant thread. So refreshing to see someone making a tidy job of a restoration and hats off to your workmanship.
Can't wait for the next update.
A question - did you make or buy your roll over jig? I am in the market for one like yours which mounts on the original bumper mounting points.
