Thanks.
It's criminal how many vehicles go to early graves due to rot!
I don't know if you followed
the other thread about the car, but it's sold now. And the guy who bought it told me he does body repair, so he got a full & frank explanation of all the repairs I'd done. So in hindsight, I'm glad this was an "all metal" repair job. It could have been done much quicker if it only had to look pretty.
Fortunately, he said the first thing he planned to do to the car was full rust prevention spray.
