zakspeed65 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi chunterer,

As you asked about what was under the paint I thought I would have a look.

The car has been in storage and I have not really given it much time, so he goes.

This is what I found yesterday afternoon.

All seams are Braised, see photos 1 & 2.

Earlier Scuttle mounted Battery and Fire Exthingusher holes are evident L/H side of scuttle, Welded up! photo 3 (inside looking up), 4 Outside after removing layers of paint.

Holes for R/H rear wing number light, photo 5, photo 6 after removing paint.

Holes for L/H rear wing number light, photo 7, photo 8 after removing inner trim panel, photo 9 after removing paint.

photo 10 shows hammering marks on the inside of L/H rear wing just behind the B pilar, the tape is covering the holes for the light and the hammering evidence is below. i intend to carerfully remove the layers of paint from the outside in this area to expose the damage!
I also intend to remove the paint in most areas to check the logos etc.

This car is looking very promising, and is slowly letting me see the whole picture.

Photos 7,8 9 and 10 are in separate post!
