Nowhere else on the shell has the same surface area as the roof skin which is also quite deep and it was only a small area that was affected so the amount of trapped air was minimal. The only other large area is the floor pan which is full of large holes which would prevent air pockets anyway.
The corrosion that came off was black not red so it appeared to be dead rust that had been converted by the treatment. If it had continued to corrode the metal would not have come up as good as it did.
SPL have only had problems with roof skins and nowhere else on the shells they have done, a small hole drilled into the roof now sorts it so it shows how little is trapped.

Good stuff Rich! Get it finished!

Loving this so far! spot on fella! big thumbs up :thumb:
-
wow this is awesom what a project love it
-
F'ing WOW! Really cannot believe that I totally missed this project thread :tard: :cry: . This is probably almost on par with Decs sport build, if not, as good as. All those parts in the garage are crazy man, just makes we wonder how much you have spent in total so far, but swll worth it imo.
Having an absolutly mint shell is fantastic. Loving the quality of the build everything is perfect, shame about the inside of the roof skin.
Really looking forward to seeing this finished

Truely amazing :D
I can't wait to see it finished!
-
just read this from the start, what a build will be watching for updates now, cant wait to see it done.

Well today the shell got a good airing(On the motorway) and is now at the other end of the country. After six years I finally decided I was never going to get it finished this side of my retirement so it was time for it to go.
It was a bit painfull to see it go but it has gone to another member on here and is in very good hands. I am sure that particular member will reveal all soon but I will wish them all the best in getting it finished.
On another note, I now have an emptyish garage & a complete(Thank god) original Sport all paid for and waiting for collection, watch this space!

shame, but at least you know it has gone to a good home :thumb:

Shame on one note rich, but glad you've still got the other one.
