Rightyho,

Thanks for all your replys and words of encouragement

Here's todays update:

Stripped everything out, it will require welding, and has had welding before (i knew about this). At the end of the day it is nearly 17 years old and unless its been well kept from the factory what else can you expect. But hey, thats the whole point of this resto isn't it? Welder is coming tomorrow at about 11ish to have a look!
You can also see where I've started to clean up the underside, what is best to use for this?











Fuel pump and filter cradle will be powdercoated silver:



Old beam, arms and calipers out anyone interested in the bare beam or calipers (2wd) drop me a PM:



Petrol tank out, I'm going to be putting this back in, rub it all down a bit and paint it black:



I'm also going to repaint the konis yellow and the springs powdercoating silver

I don't have a week to let the stoneguard dry Can you get some that drys overnight?
Forgive me for being thick BUT, if you stoneguard, then paint over the top. If a stone hits the paint then surely it will just chip the paint off and you'll just be left to the stoneguard? Or is the purpose of it just to stop it stone chipping the bare metal?

Thanks for your PM's and answers mate, a great help

Are there any other routes I could take i.e underseal, magenta, laquor?
My mate at the spray shop has suddenly become very unhelpful for absolutely no reason so will all be hand painted.
