Hi!
Some advances. We are currently working to leave the body completely naked beforte start welding.
We took off all the old wiring loom, completely. It looks to be in a decent state, has no patches or horrors, except for an awful connection for the radio and a couple of unindentified things in the door jambs, never seen on a GTV. They look like an alarm sensors.
We took off too the last remains of the insulation mats, in the fire fender. It weights quite a lot. No point for thinks like these in a full race car.
Floors look nice. On drivers left corner we found a light surface rust, not worring, possibly originated by humidity.
Everything else is near perfect.
The best way to work on the body is to left it completely naked. We started to took off the bituminic coat from the inner floors. With a strong palette knife, it goes. Hard work, indeed, but it keeps going with no mutch effort, sometimes lifting big pieces of this stuff. In the joins between sections, we found a mastic gum. Is here where the coat is harder to crack and lift. This areas must receive the electric rotating wirebrush.
Details from drivers corner floor.
Co-driver floors.
Next works will be on rear floors. Here, the coat seems to be better glued, it mixed with some other stuff, and its harder to lift.
Nest weekend I'll receive a car-lift fro the garage, so work on car will be close to none.
Stay tune!
