815 coupe restoration

I just read back and worked out the tent is to keep the dirt INSIDE not to protect the project car.  I'd assumed it was "a clean space".

Yes, indeed David 

I share the unit with a friend and we mostly park our classics in there, I manage to cover mine but John doesn't manage to do his cars. Sanding down and the associated mess with grinding and welding would create a fog of dust and dirt that would mess up the cars, even covered cars. So the dirt will be contained!
I may end up respraying the Flavia in there in the end, I have now added a dust extraction fan so it's not beyond me to do so.

Managed to finally make a start on the car tonight.
There's a few places to sort out since Dan completed the floors etc, we'd agreed for me to finish off the "easier" bits.
The drivers side rear inner arch has had repairs before but again now has daylight showing.

Areas behind the bootlid hinge and under the parcel shelf also need tackling

Parts that will need remaking have been cut out now
Dan had already let a bit in which is primered

There's a bit more rot to sort in the chassis rail forward of the spring hanger mounts plus the floor piece that meets the inner quarter panel to cut out.
