Here you go Oilit - Some before the restoration started (Bought in June at end of Lockdown 1, trailered to my house, photographed in detail and the n totally stripped, sent to Envirostrip in Tamworth where it was baked at 450deg C to burn off the paint/filler oil/underseal, then acid dipped to eat the rust. Returned home and mounted to a Rollover jig, where I've been cutting out the bad bits (theres a lot of them!) and slowly, adding new metal. So far, I've had to make the smaller repair patches myself, but I have got complete new sills, rear valance and wheelarch repairs which I'm leaving till last.

So a long way off from being able to post the 'after' pics. The before pics do a good job of hiding what was beneath!

A weekend ahead of more patches. P1800ES Front.jpg

Thanks !

Very nice - I was about to say that looks really solid - then I opened the last picture of the sill.

You should do a thread on the resto....
