29 Aug
Finished removing sign writing
Paint is still in good condition however the advantage of cutting the paint is that you find any flaws. I have found a few small bubbles and some cracking around the rear quarter started to investigate and found a small amount of rust and under some bog and a couple of areas where the filler has cracked (remember this is a race car so not too surprising).
Removed the door rubber and found some surface rust there but found some major rust in the A pillar. I will need to cut this out and either replace the pillar or hopefully I will get away with just a couple of patches.
all the signwriting off and at this stage looking ok the grey primer marks flaws in the panelwork/ paint

first sign of rust r/h front corner in the boot drain chanel

found a few bubbles in the paint and a lot of bog under it plus rust spots under the bog
