Agreed, although I expect the purists will be aghast.  The problem is there
some stuff I don't know how to fix as a rolling.  The floor of the boot (a
3A) is very thin with a few pin holes but at some point the spare wheel
carrier must have been replaced because it's perfect.  

The engine bay is solid but there are so many layers of paint that anywhere
there's a ding the difference in depth looks huge, I'm thinking I'll have to
strip it all down, but how do I do that without removing all the engine
plumbing & wiring?
