  15. thanks good couple of days to morrow flatten and paint all inner surfaces in finish colour
     
  16. dont worry i was wearing a mask lol
     
  17. Its a lovely job you're doing. I had a 1965 Traveler for a while and the body was never in such great condition and it was only 7 years old when I got it.

    Your car will be worth a tidy bit over 10,000 when you are done. Engine bay will look fantastic, looking at your paint. There is a company in Canterbury, Kent restoring and selling minors. look them up. I reckon yours will be better than most of theirs.
