Anything and everything Spitfire.

Chassis, bodywork, interior, instrumentation.

Hi all.
I'm new to the TSSC its really good to hear so many like minded voices. A couple of months ago I bought a Mark IV Spitfire a car I had been looking forward to owning for a good couple of decades! Unfortunately its had " some treatment" from previous owners.

I have finally got my Spitfire ready for paint stripping and welding.

The floor is currently covered in a mixture of old black underseal, red primer and three different colours of cellulose, oh and a good covering of surface rust in the places missed by the underseal!

Once I have removed all of this and repaired the previous messy welding what should I re coat the floor with?

On another point - how on earth do most people remove old filler and old black underseal. the previous owner has used both in vast quantities!

I have many more questions but thats a start.

Cheers

Phil
