One more day to finish stripping #00136 the 18th Dino 206 to leave the factory. The fiberglass was a real P.I.T.A. to get out as there were way more pieces than a 206 and 10X the rivets. It looked like they were improvising as they went along, very crude. In my opinion it is really a must to go to the extra effort and remove the fiberglass, there is just so much grit and grime and rust that you would never get out without removing it all. Also the factory used wood shims in many places that just soak up moisture and remain wet all the time spreading corrosion around it. I hope to remove the last pits and pieces on Monday, pick up another rotisserie and have it to the blasters by the end of next week. This one is going to take some time as I have a number of projects to start and finish before I can get back to this. It does get it out of my shop for awhile and will free up some space. It is much lighter than a 246 as 2 people can lift it.

Pretty much down to the last of the fiberglass. The 206 is much more difficult than the 246 to get all the various fiberglass pieces out.

Not much left to take off, as all the suspension, brakes etc were removed today along with the steering rack.. Many differenced between a 206 and 246. The fiberglass looks much more difficult to remove, I guess I’ll find out soon! Removing the suspension is kind of a milestone as it will need to go on a rotisserie or cart.
