On safely getting the car home,
a closer inspection was carried out. The body shell is indeed, to all
intents and purposes rust free, even the unprotected inner panels are in
fantastic condition and very little work will be required in this
direction. To keep the shell in this condition some kind of anti-rust
treatment will now be applied. The right hand side front wing has at
some point suffered a prang. The repair leaving a little bit to be
desired. This as well as some marks on the paintwork will need to be
sorted out. The underneath of the car is very clean and also in a
fantastic condition. The normal get out clause of "for a 45 year old
car" is not needed here; I have seen more rust on a 4-year-old car! |
