Christ what a nightmare job this is turning put to be. Getting my car into my single garage onto axle stands was the first challenge, then using my 3m sanding disk without rasping off my nose whilst underneath the thing. Light is also a major problem even with an inspection lamp.

I need to move to a house with heated double garage, pit etc unless I suddently come into a lot of cash so I can pay someone to do this stuff!!.

One of the tricky parts is also deciding what needs attention. You could go on forever sorting every last paint bubble but in the end it won't be seen, and as its a fair weather car I'm not sure how necessary it is really (tempted to just waxoyl just the lot rather than sand, krust, paint, waxoyle etc). But for peace of mind I suppose...

I can sympathise, I went through this job last winter, although I did have the advantage of having a pit.
It is worth it in the end, The trouble is I now find myself waxing the chassis as well

I seem to remember seeing some pics posted on here of yours Andy and it looked like new. Any tips...?
