A few pics from today, cut the rot out of the floor pan and started on the first sand. Also got a set of immaculate side trims from the local scrappy for £12  :smiley:

Looking forward to seeing this progress. Doing a similar resto to my 8 valve.

Got to the garage last night and the golf's in the spray booth nearly sanded and half masked looks like my grand father in law has been busy  :grin:   I found some more rot around the fuel filler which needs some new metal, filled the sills and DA'd the bonnet to get rid of all the stone chips.
