    Talking my mk1's getting the love

    brought some new toy's
    hand held sand blaster and
    a stone chip gun
    can't see now maybe should have brought safety glass too ! hah
    rust isn't too bad so far but will have quite a bit of welding
    the worst is above the l/h front door in the gutter
    should only need a few couple inch patches (i hope)
    want to paint at easter so going to have pull finger out
    ooh found new front seats too out of an older 911 pick up next weekend
    will get creative and make them fit

    that's doesn't sound too bad actually. I was expecting for it to be a bit more...

    Sand blasters are reasonably cheap , the expense is in the humongous compressor you need to run them.
