    Thanks for your the above info.

    From the DVLA ownership records, after being first registered in Scotland it spent most of its time moving around Wales before ending up with me the midlands.

    Car now back from Enviro Strip based in Tamworth, extremely happy with the service provided, although it took a bit longer than expected. The next step is carryout last remaining repairs revealed by the strip process and then get the car Ecoated.

    Hope you removed the boot spring torsion rods before sending it to Envirostrip? I didnt and they went saggy with the heat process.

    Had to have mine processed twice as the process didnt seem to get the rust out of the seams, have you opened any seams since getting it back? Be interested to see.

    Looks good!

    hi there,
    no i never removed the boot springs, will have a look at them when its back from SPL.

    Sorry its a been a while, the minor repairs revealed by Enviro-strip to the body have now been done and I decide that I would get it Ecoated at SPL for max protection.

    The body, boot and bonnet are currently awaiting to be re-dipped and then Ecoated .
