This is clean build, and it brings me joy, that it's going to be driven like it should, in time!

This makes me very excited. Just read through the whole build again and amazing to see how quickly you welded it up. I'm still welding up my mk2 cortina and i picked it up summer 2014 lol.
On page 9 you shown 'de-rusting' under the dash etc, what did you use for this?
Love the car mate. and great job.
