Body work

Here Is a photo of her in tempe yard just after withdrawal.



Above is a photo of some of the body work that was carried out, The major work done was rust removal. On the back there was some surface rust that has been taken care of.

Above the white patch behind the grill was some minor rust patch, This was taken care of, While the serch was on for rust the heater was removed, While this was out I took the chance to install the big merc badge! some rust removal will need to be done under the windows at some point of time.

While the search or rust was on, The stickers covering the old advertising were removed to see if there was any rust hiding under here, There was no rust but there also just undercoat in this ares, so a rough temporary touch up of while was applied, The above photo shows this.
