so... started stripping the RS over the weekend. needed to replace front panel and x member, which turned into fuse box tray, and then transpired it would be inner arches as well, oh and whilst taking the dash out we added two lower corners underneath windscreen, so the screen came out as well!
add to this some plank red oxiding the front floor pans after repair

which obviously will have to go diamond white again

and two rear inner lower quarters and the fact I may as well spray my whole engine bay I think im nearly at resto level
spent the weekend on her, back to it tomorrow after work, ill get some up close photos then.
started writing a list so I didn't forget anything, im glad I picked a new pad to write in!
so- lets kick it off with some photos, comment and question if you like...
