I did warn you that it might be a tad rusty.SiC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 10:49 pmI could but I enjoy working on the Midget a lot more.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 9:41 pm Any chance you could get the midget outside under a cover to give you space to finish off the dolomite?
Which is the crux of the issue. I don't enjoy working on the Dolomite.
Looking at it right now, there is still a shed load to do from even what I can see. In this state I possibly won't get as much as that yellow one as people pay more for rust than half completed repairs. I'd hope to get at least 3k to 3.5k for it though.

I pointed out the bubbles under the vinyl on the C pillars but you said it was fine.
