Is there such thing as 'minor rust repair' in old Z?

According to Mr. S, the previous owner was an 'interesting' individual and had some strange ideas about the Z - which included drilling holes in random places... These had been welded up when it was repainted originally, but unfortunately that wasn't done quit well enough so rust had started to appear...

A few years ago, Mr. S asked me about repainting his monster of a Z in the future, and I said I'd 'definitely be interested, so let me know when you are ready'. Last year, the talks got more serious with Mr S wanting to add a new G-Nose plus other parts to the refurbishment. After waiting an eon for the new G-Nose to arrive from Japan, Mr. S fitted the new parts and dropped the Z off at my little shop once I had room. The brief is: Minor rust repairs and a full open door respray in Red. Plus some other bits an pieces. This is how it arrived, so on with the show! That large rear Wang is going...

Car is registered now so time to get stuck in......no turning back now! Engine and trans sold to a mate of Lurch's HVAC is excess to requirements. What a job to remove, probably took 4-5 hours
