Although I’ve still got a lot of work left to do on the doors and bonnet I’ve decided to make start on the car body. The reason for this is because I’ve got a whole two weeks off work so it makes sense to work on the car body while I have the time. Once the car body is done I’ll be able to refit the doors and bonnet and make any adjustment required to improve the fit of these items. So far the stripping of the body has gone well however the biggest problem I found so far is the rear wheel arches have been cut about (probably to fit larger wheels as the previous owner said he had to replace all the wheels back to the original size as when he got it the wheels were occasionally rubbing against the car). To make this even worse the driver s side has also been involved in an accident. As the quality of the repair is not great I’ve decide to sand out all the body filler and repair the damage again using fiber glass.
