i emailed peter during the week as i needed to pick up some of his acid/phosphate he uses to remove rust, as i have a lot of cleaning to do... so i had a few hours in the garage on the panel (shown above) and after lunch i drove up to collect said acid, well i've said it before it's nice to call in to see him cause you never know what he is working on. after he said there will be no more holden 1/4 panels being made due to body aches and pains, what is he doing?
