Painting done but I touched the gravitex on the spare wheel wells with my leg so will need to touch them up. Rust proofing next and then flatting and polishing.

Excellent! Are you sure that's not not a new body you somehow sourced from Sweden?!

She’s solid now, maybe more tlc in the future but getting her back together to use now.

Rust proofing done. Wheels blasted, painted and new tyres. The 142 is alive again. Dry and wet vacuumed the seats, this is what 50years of crud looks like. Back on the road for a drive this Friday.

All back together, gave her a clean, clay bar and quick hand polish. Still more to do but she is ready for our drive tomorrow.

Drive to Pennan from our cottage. Wobbly video with lots of bugs but a fantastic drive.
