Thanks guys, I'll keep the updates coming. Next job is scuttle panel and wiper motor off so I can access the main multiplug and disconnect the engine bay look and move it into the spare room at home....keeps it dry although undoubtedly will piss off the wife....then drop the column and have the servo out.
Next job after that is going to drop the subframe and suspension and begin stripping the bay and arches. The inner arches have all that horrible underseal stuff on them too. Going to try a different tack this time. Solvents. Petrol is supposed to be very good. Have some Autosmart tar remover that could skin an elephant at 20 paces I reckon....give that a go too. Sometimes I wish the old recipe nitromors still existed! Pretty certain it won't come of with blasting. The blast media will just stick to it.
Once that's done, I need to either find or make a couple of studs that sheared. Should be too hard. Have them welded in and then think about having the bits I couldn't get to blasted.
