Cheers, yeah I sometimes wonder what i'm doing but the progress has been good and not spent much on it yet so i'm happy. Subframe bolts came out no bother. Wishbone bolts were a bit tight and the top nuts on the shocks took me ages to get off.

Anyone know the part number of the clip that holds the pin on the servo into the brake pedal? Its a white plastic clip and it partially broke when removing.

EDIT - Not to worry. Found what I need!

Few more pics of todays progress.

Basically just sanding down and treating the surface rust. Nothing too major. Had already removed all the wax with a heat gun.







As for the backs of the inner wings instead of removing all the seam sealer down to the metal I have removed it where it has lifted due to rust, treated the rust and reapply sealer then will be some stonechip then paint. Will adopt this way when I do the underside.
