Antonie. When I see it, I'd let it wash. You'll be sure. After your repair when you invest many hours of work and financial investments would be your work in safe.
A sculptor or mason repaired the car in front of you and the results are visible. In my youth, a bricklayer who wanted to sell a car that had rust and large holes at the bottom. He tossed the trowel from conkrete to the bottom of the car and made the paint and sold the car to the "happy owner" .....

![]() Well, while I was already working on this side, I also put a part of the front inner fender wheel back into shape ![]() You can see here a dent in the middle: ![]() After a bit of hammerwork: ![]() And same here with the collision damage: ![]() After a bit of planishing: ![]() The rusted through front part will of course be replaced..

Antonie. Ask about the water technology. This is really need wash. I can ask here here, but there are many orders and the price is up to 1000 euros for a complete body. But you saw the quality. You have a foundation for long years to come.

Antoine, I admire your ambition. This one is going to take a lot of work but you're moving along nicely and doing good work.
Also, try reducing your picture size, they are bigger than my screen. Here's a good free resizer: https://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm

Thanks so much Jack! It really means a lot to me as I am far from being a restoration expert but took this huge project to learn and I am enjoying every minute of this journey!
Concerning the size: I will try my best but I am saving the pictures on the Website I found the most reliable and I think it gives the size ![]() Antoine

Hi Antoine,
Where is the English wheel class? I built a small 24 inch ew last year and am interested in getting tuition. I'm restoring a 1952 Rolls-Royce for longer than I care to admit! Mike nr Trier
