Hmmm
Firstly, thanks for the advice.
The plan was to replace all the worst sections i.e. arches, floor sections etc....
And then the areas that can't really be replaced like the boot floor, and spare wheel well. I've attacked with a wire brush on a grinder, then treated the rust/pitted metal with Kurust and then used an anti-rust primer.
Do you think the rust will come back through this??
(It will be stonechipped over the top of this)
