| Rescued from North Carolina, with the help of my boys I started sandblasting right away! |
| I gradually worked my way around the body sand blasting and removing parts as I went. The new fuel tank was treated inside with a tank sealer kit from Eastwood. The fuel pan area was blasted, primed, painted and undercoated. |
| The battery box and passenger floorpan was solid and just needed surface rust and old rubberized coating removed. |
| Next came the blasting and painting of various parts and replacement of windshield glass, seal etc. |
| Primer is Gillespie Coatings Red Oxide over a coat of Cold Galvanizing Compound. Topcoat is Gillespie FS595 Forest Green purchased from Rapco Parts Co. |

| Replacement of bearings and other suspension components was a good time for the little MV'rs to get their hands dirty |
| The finished product! There is no feeling like the one you get when you have brought back to life a long forgotten MV. |
