I am just starting the resoration on my '55 BN1 which is going to require a bare metal repaint. I haven't yet decided the best method to remove all the exisiting paint and am looking for feedback from your experiences with Healey's.
The car seems to be very solid, but I am going to have to replace the trunk (boot) floor and the front crossmember, everything else appears solid so far. I am more than a bit concerned that sandblasting could cause more damage than good. Soda blasting is something I am considering but have no experience with. Chemical stripping? Wire wheel & sandpaper?
Cheers,
Dan M.
