Welcome to Pf. Shame she is a bit rusty but at least it's getting repaired.

mayo rs

Thanks for the kind remarks she was a bit rusty but i think we got it just in time ,i am very happy with the way shes coming out and its great to know theres no rust eating away and she should stay solid for years to come.

Tidy! What paint are you using underneath?

mayo rs

All back to bare metal,coat of etch primer ,one coat of 2k primer ,3m bag sealer on the joints another coat 2k primer, light coat of upol stone chip then white 2k and clear coat ,probably a bit over kill but not planing on doing it again.

Well chuffed got a minty set of wheels,they have been in a guys loft for the last fifteen years ,some bits and bobs ready for paint dont know how many people use it but i got 20 litres of white vinegar and left all the smaller parts steeping for a few days then got the powerwasher at them takes all the rust off just need to get it dryed and primed pretty rapid.

looking good, what colour are all the underside parts going?

mayo rs

Tires will have to go alright ,paint will be a 2k satin black .

craigk47

Thanks lads ,the parts are just given a quick rub with a wire wheel after the vinegar is washed off and a coat of etch primer applied , hope to get them primed and painted this week along with the bigger items trailing arms etc which have been blasted and primed.

Get a poly rear different mount matey. Are you keeping the bigger wheels on it still.

mayo rs
