Default Body off at last

At last ! ... the body tub is now off & listed on Gumtree. Surprisingly good nick for a 46 year old !! ... and so is the chassis now I can have a good look at it. I feel I am getting somewhere. My aim is to give it the pressure hose treatment (what I have will cut you if you are not very carefull). Just bought some good rust remover gel and some Waxoyl for when it's dried out.
So far the suspension bolts etc have yeilded to a big spanner .... no need for heat or big hammers (yet). Glad I paid a good wedge for the donor ... this seems to have paid off (so far) I've recouped at least half of my original outlay in selling off the spares.
Watch this space ... (but please don't hold your breath ... I would hate to be responsible for untimely death) ....
