Default Just took the kit off the Series 1.....

Took kit off to start prepping for paint, started at o/s rear and it came off no prob at all, pity the mood changed when i saw what was underneath



Still, thought I'd soldier on and off comes the side skirt:



Hmm not going all too well! I nearly didnt want to take the rest off, but fairly good news in that both wings, front panel and n/s rear arch are spotless and only a small hole in n/s sill (my fault):







Also stripped out inside to find that floor is very good, should think so too as it got floor pans about 5 years ago

Now just waiting for my welder to give me the all clear to drag it down
