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?!

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.

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