That will suit your R17 well John
I'm looking into the trim for the floors hump and the two wheel arch section.
Has anyone found a similar type of sheeting with the embossed grain running one way?

It's called 'meticulous'. I've successfully used bulk fishoil for this sort of thing. 40 years later still no rust on 4CV and R8 door corners and edges. Fine effort there John. I couldn't come close.
Thought i'd clean up the skins underside as i dont want them to sandblast the whole panel. Just the edges/seams!
Quite a bit of pitting.

Not quite johnw. Full face shield dusk mask ear muffs and an apron. I don't like the taste of metal. Spray booth on with a decent draft. What I like is the strip disc doesn't take near any metal. Paint flies off and it takes the rust too. I wish I knew about these before I used paint stripper.
My little joke.
