Guys and gals -

Just let me express my sincere thanks for helping us kicking some life back into Betty, our 2-door 1960 that had been sitting in a garage since 1992-ish. This little video snippet (mixed languages, but still) shows Betty´s triumphant return to the neighborhood. We have spent 3 weeks CPR-ing her, and still need to do some welding before a first MOT, but....she´s at least breathing fresh air again!
We are presently rubbing and polishing her back to full formal glory....pics later!

You know who you are - THANK YOU ALL!

Cheers /Richard, Sweden (will be back pestering you all with more Q:s shortly :lol: )

Edit: the old lady gets a peeling/deep cleansing treatment :lol:

There´s surprisingly much gloss left under all the oxidized paint...

Well done on rescuing the paint, it's amazing how tough cellulose really is, and a good cut back is much easier than a respray. Get some Maguires Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax on there, it's brilliant stuff.

Excellent - and yes, Minor driving DOES put a smile on your face. Good luck with the welding that lies ahead!

Yeah but he is Mad and Swedish so even smiles in his sleep probably :-)
Personally i reckon Richard so Mad he ought to Swedish prime minister so he can exile the entire female population of the country to here :-)
