Don't get too excited, there isn't much to see in all honesty. I've lost some pics during the work

After working on the interior over 18 months ago, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and work on the underside of the car. Clean up any rust and cut out areas that were really bad. So I made a crude frame that allowed me to get the car on it's side:







You know when you start something and really wish you hadn't? Well that was the situation with this task. What I thought would be relatively straight forward has turned into a nightmare. There was a lot more rust than expected and a lot more work involved. This is what's caused the delay. After patching up one area and then finding another larger bit really pissed me off and I soon lost patience with it.

Persistence is the name of the Nova game and I can almost see the light at the end of the 'underside tunnel'. I just need to patch up a few areas inside the offside rear arch, however this means flipping the car over first. Once that's sorted I've got some nice under seal to go on then I can get the car back on the deck and get on with the cage that's been sat against the wall for over 3 years!

Hey Scott, long time no speak. It's been tempting to throw it on one of CP's bonfires, but for some reason I can't let go, . CP has been very kind in letting me keep it in his barn for so long, although he keeps eyeing it up every time he takes a trailer load of metal to the scrap yard, .

You'll go round one day and find a big block dropped in it!
