Looks well, what process was the restoration? did you go to bare metal.
Post some pics of before, of the dreaded tinworm and the lovely new metal that you welded in.

Hi there,
Restoration was fairly straight forward. Only stripped to bare metal where there was bubbling in paint.
The metal was in good condition generally, needing very little welding. But where necessary rust was cut out and new metal welded in. (not just filled with filler dont worry!!!)

Can root out pics and upload them if you are interested in making me an offer :)

Good to hear that you used no filler on the car, makes or breaks a car.

Gutters were fairly good, few spots of bubbling but only surface.
Didnt say i used no filler! I just used it properly. Was on a tight budget and timescale so did the best i could.
Bubbling around base of front window, below vents and a few bits of rust from stone chips on the wings and a few other places.
Will upload photos....

did you paint over the bubbles or grind back and repair, then paint?

It looks super in the picture above, a real turnaround from what it was before.

For any rust or bubbles i went back to bare metal and worked from there. (welding if there were holes)
