Don't kill me for the cheesy
title. It's pretty much accurate for how the weekend was in terms of work pace and progress made.
This Saturday morning the Burb was finally stripped down to it's bare bones with just the main body on the frame.
Front pic of bare body Side view of the bare body The sun baked rusty roof The goal for the weekend was to get the main body down to bare metal inside and out and then primed in one coat of etch primer followed by a two coats of normal light build primer.
Reason for all this is to stop sever rust to form from the sun baked surface rust due our humid weather in the UK (although it's bone dry at the moment). I also wanted see what was under all that rattle can primer.
So by Sunday lunch time I was finished, all paint and rust removal done either with Irwin FACE-OFF wheels (basically a 3M clean and strip wheel) or with a 4" wire-brush cup wheel.
The roof looks a lot nicer now in bare metal with no rust. Same with the body, here from left front Original steps in very good condition Just a few more pics Right side Dash and floor right Firewall So now its time to paint it with the etch primer.
Here is how it looks Sunday evening Left side Dash Floor Step So didn't manage quite right so Monday morning it's continuation and here is the result by afternoon tea time
- in two coats of light build buff primer.
Again the front view Firewall Left side Floor Step Inside right, and now I will not fix the dents in the wheelhouse since I will cover it in a carpet.. well not going 110% stock 
Another interior shot Lastly the roof From here on it's light bondo work, then recoat of those areas in etch/light fill primer and then finally a wet sand of the whole body until it's smooth.
Yep also doing some welding in the dash and lower inner section of the door pillar. Waiting for the patch panel and when it comes it out with the protective blanket
.
The Burb will be pretty stock except for the carpet in the back and non std bench seats in the back.

PS: Yes painted in the tent, doesn't really matter to much with primer since you will sand it down anyways. The garage is not big enough for the Burb anyways so no I have ordered a sealed (with floor and all) tent that is 40' x 14' where I will paint the the topcoat..
