Ok so due to stupidly cold weather and my angling club opening a new lake in april finally got round to making a start on the motor. So let the stripping commence and see what sort of base i got...



Getting a pinto out of an escort with a type 9 attached is very very very tight



Hummm





So am going to need a jig (sorry dad)





















5 mins with a wire brush brings the original paint through





All in all not a bad base so should not take to long to get the repairs done and the bottom sprayed! The big question is do I stay original red or go dimond white........................
