Update: There is paint on the Europa!
A massive thank you to Richard Mann for all his help. A lot of progress has been achieved in the last week.
It started off with towing the car across town to his workshop. The body was quickly lifted off the chassis again and placed on the work stand trolley.
After a thorough dust off/wipe down I unfortunately found more MORE stress cracks on the RHF guard/fender. I attended to those , then got to wiping the body down again and begun masking up for paint.
The product used is an epoxy primer. It is grey in colour. I used an epoxy primer first on all the hanging panels , then used a high build primer over the top of that.
The body is now in epoxy primer (finish shown in pics). There are some pin holes to attend to now as well as a few areas that will need a little more attention.
High build primer to come, then lots of blocking down.
It is great to finally have the body all in one colour. I can really see all the lines of it now and I know which areas to focus on to get the body nice and straight.
