I dont know what to do next.

With all this time off I have had a lot more time to get to jobs that need to be done replace seals etc. I knew I had some rust around windscreen but didnt think it was this catastrophic.

Now I'm in the predicament of whether to get the other bits welded up and sprayed which could turn into a full respray. I'm still on it original paint so it's well over due a bit of love shes turning 40 in a few months.

I know myself from past project that once I start I obsess and then I'm left with a completed restoration that I'm terrified to take out of the garage.

Help :(
