I am sat on the sofa after yet another full day of coupe tinkering in preparation for Turin. Typically for me, I keep finding things to do. It's becoming an obsession and I am absolutely shattered. It is all I have been doing every weekend and after work.
Put new rad in today but also had to rebuild parts of the rusted slam panel. Cue the tin snips and rivet gun. I've got various parts scattered around the garage in various stages of refurb. I've had stuff electrolytically de-rusting in the wheelie bin, then using bilt hamber products to finish off. Amazing stuff. Deox gel, surfex HD, electrox primer. Then American POR15 chassis paint to top it off. Also use day ax S50 to squirt into the chassis hollows and firm film for underside.
Then i keep finding areas of rust of the front end to sort out, then I noticed the header tank needed a clean the I thought I'll change the rad and the coolant at the same time.
Then there are all the rusted or missing bolts to replace.
Then there is the paranoia that I have damaged the radiator when fitting.
When will it all end ???

It's a never ending saga. But a worthy one.
