cheers for all the comments,
dan-sport, calibras arent geting rare you can pick one up now with a v6 in it for £400 they are old has beens, i would agree that i was ruining it if it really was an old classic,

cheers for the comments.....
firestate it is all painted mate, the wing isnt painted because its slowly rusting so its not having any paint on it,
its getting its daily treatment of vinegar and salt poured on it
so yes...the whole car is painted (all of what was getting painted anyway)lol!!
cheers for all your opinions, good to see some people like it,and that some people are coming round to the idea of it...
cheers, brad

Paint stripper on the wing and then cover it in salt water
Will get the desired effect.
