Yeah it is very rewarding when it starts coming together and looking more like a car again!

It's funny you call your car the Turd because that's exactly what I've been calling mine!

Haha that’s the whole thing with old cars, there supposed to be fun, never taken seriously,
Which I just as well given the dramas my Turd has caused me
The latest episode is the Endura Front nose,
Absolutely doing my head in, I’ve totally stripped it,
Blasted it completely, degreased with the correct solvent free DG epoxy sealed it, 3 weeks later it cracked!
So a blasted it again, so spec different epoxy
This lasted about 6 months, no major issues but still the odd crows foot lines,
I’ve now refinished it again but used polyester bridging,
I’ll epoxy this a keep me fingers crossed.
If this fails and I’m quite confident it will I’ll have to get a fibreglass replacement nose,
Bloody cars

Great work, as ever. Really looking forward to seeing this one finished in the flesh. :rr:
