Thanks for comments everyone.
Stripped most of it now.Just the axle/prop and a few other bits to go.

Given its age, that's not too bad actually is it? I mean, I've MOT'd worse!

Lots of brown stuff to deal with, but it seems to be fairly free of previous bodgery, so at least you know what you're dealing with.

Looking forward to this one, 'cos based on your previous projects we know how it's going to turn out!

Good stuff - keep the updates coming.

Poor old girl's been sitting for quite a while.
Are you going to send her for blasting / dipping?
