i have been mostly focused on body work over the last few months; i had some rust removed - the worst bit being on the left-hand pillar behind the passenger seat, which was starting to look pretty ugly, and at the bottom of that door & round the wheel arch. that's all been done now, & so i turned my attention to the floor. lifting up the rubber at the front was scary because i know it leaks into the passenger side - & sure enough, there was quite a bit of rust there. also in the spare tyre well in the boot. so i've applied blackguard to those areas & hopefully that will at least slow it down.
& now i'm off to europe for 6 months so she will be garaged again. the solar panel for the battery worked really well last time, which was 5 months, so i'll put that on again. this time i'm also planning to put her on blocks, to relieve the pressure on the tyres sitting in one spot for 6 months.
& no progress at all with electrification. too much else going on!
