sticky

so how do you remove 30 year old glue from the cabin roof of a Fiat 128?
 
1 x angle grinder
1 x twisted wire cup brush (the real heavy duty ones)
1 x idiot
 
The idiot then dresses in full environmental exclusion clothing including woollen beanie and proceeds to spend an hour on a hot autumn day holding the angle grinder above his head and aersoling copious amounts of (probably) toxic crud - again - moron
Cabin roof is now pretty clever and ready for paint - yay
spent a bit more time sanding the interior and acid etching minor surface corrosion patches
Made templates of the front and rear quarters/wheel arch areas so I send them off to some fibreglass guys to find some flares that work... thinking Toyota TRD KP60/61 Starlet wide body ones - available and they are from the correct period.
 
Just need to sort out the camber plate/strut tower plates now...
 
Next week more sanding and then some seam sealing
 
booked in for the roll cage in 5 weeks (count them)
