Sorry no, it's pretty messy maybe soda blasting, best Google it.
Does soda blasting not have a corrosive element so needs to get into primer immediately.

No, quite the opposite. Soda is a natural rust inhibitor and leaves a protective film over the panel. |

I wonder which one I'm thinking about.

Ah, I'm glad you did the boot floor like that. That's exactly what I planned to do on NWL. Looks superb with the club panels |

I use an old style pair of 'pincers' to remove the gutter trims; one jaw goes in the gutter, the other under the bottom edge and upward rotation gently eases it off. I start at the front and work backwards.
I know you did! And I saw the work that went into doing it with lengths of timber screwed together. Really not worth the effort unless leaving the UK. Mario was lucky you were prepared to do it!Quote: though shipping them is a bit problematic!
Nonsense; I sent a pair to Malta last year!!

Great updates Tony! Good idea the blasting - it certainly reveals corrosion that would otherwise be missed, so very thorough. Nice to retain the original sills too, seems a good solid car in the main. Looking forward to seeing some paint on it soon! Kind regards MC |

Great progress Tony. I see another Dolly graces the workshop too. Do the same team do the painting or does it need to be moved? |
