I have decided to take the car down to bare metal all over. As if this car was sprayed again without doing that it would have been 9 layers of paint over each other as this would have been the 4th colour change. It is good also as there is some problem areas where rust has formed under the body filler and that just will not cut it. Since I am looking for the best bang for my buck and not standing down from a challenge, although my GF is moaning about the noise that accompanies the grinding. I will get the job done, persistance and preserverence.
I did however realize very soon that to achieve this goal was alot of hard work doing it with a wire wheel and grinder.
I looked at getting the purple 3M abrasive wheels, to no avail yet, to speed the job up. I actually visited 9 shops/suppliers yesterday and still could not find it on the shelf. I have made contact with a 3M supplier so will see how it goes.
The nose and engine bay area is virtually done, moving onto the back end....

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
