Thanks Ossodiseppia. Having used a lot of bandwith browsing AlfaBB and having seen some of the monumental tasks many people are successfully undertaking, I realise I should count my blessings. Thank you for the morale boost

All the same, it is daunting when one pulls of some paint or mechanicals to find a nightmare, and an expensive one, underneath.

I'll post a few more pics tomorrow after I have been to the bodyshop.
