and thats only stripping the glass,handles and hinges, and flatting the flat surfaces,
theres another couple of hours cleaning up the edges

its all change on the doors....

well its been a while so.....



how big are the panels on a yank....

trunk lid...and im standin on a box......

cleaned all the edges of scabby paint mastic and surface rust



with trusty wire wheel and drill, great finish from these....








re-sealed the edges with brushable "meerkat"mastic....




attacked doors with paint stripper and removed 5 coats of various paint,
but the doors are rock solid ,,

not bad for 36 year old doors













someone has had a go with a grinder at some time over the last 36 years...some sort of repair to the drivers door...



will be getting the trunk,hood,doors in primer in the next few weeks....
