just stripped it what do u think?

 

sorry about the pics, im still learning

 

 

needs some work but looks a lot more solid than a lot of RS's ive seen (including mine), check my sig to see mine

 

Looks like a nice little project there,not too far gone ,keep the updates coming

 

looks good mate, rust in all the right places, keep the pics coming!
cheers mark.

 

looks ok mate, a nice little project ur got there

 

as said above

ive seen worse

 

first job is to treat the rust inside the roof, ive seen some good rust treatments at www.frost.co.uk, can any of you lot recommend a good one? cheers ps do u think its worth painting the bulkhead and inner wings?

 

Doesn't look to bad mate, i've seen worse so you've got a good shell to work with. The link for frost didn't work but i buy a few things from them and this is 1 of the products i use for removing rust http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8229

For really thick rust i spray it on a leave it awhile then attack it with a wire brush attachment on my grinder

 

got your work cut out but at least with havin all the kit off etc, you can see evrythin that needs sortin

 

Do it mate, ive seen a lot worse

 

Doesnt look that bad m8

Will look alot better with a bit of time spent on it

 

I use a good rust cure ,its made by a company called granville ,sold in a little pot with an oil rig picture on it ,when we did will,s one (puss on here),his sunroof was the same as yours ,we hoovered out the loose then got a mini roller with the rust cure on and painted inside the roof and the bits we could not get to we used a squirty bottle with it in ,Yep would paint the inner wings and bulkhead aswell

 

Do the lot mate otherwise you may regret it later on
Once you pop you can't stop

 

hello people sorry for the delay with the up dates but ive been a busy lad!!!, all the welding is now done so im filling/repairing for primer at the moment, the worst job was the roof, once id got rid of the rot i had some pin holes which i had to weld up! but ive gone to town on the rust proofing on the underside using POR 15 metal ready which is a type of acid to neutralise the rust then i used black POR 15 rust encapsultor which is absolutely permanent, it seals in the rust forever!, its used in the marine industry and is guaranteed to be a permanent cure for surface rust,it comes with a warning on the tin that if u get it on your skin only time will remove it!!!!! after this i gave it a coat of white hammerite over the top, once its painted i will nuke it in wax oil aswell. once its in primer i will get some more pics up any comments would be appreciated

 

sorry about the shit pics, im no good with photo bucket!!!!!!
sorry people

 

looks a really good project mate, keep us up dated

your kicking ass mate. keep going

 

looks identical to all the repairs done on mine, took me 2.5 years and going for its mot next monday, on the road on the 1st april, good luck. worked out what i have spent on mine in the last couple of years and its over Ł8000.00 and that isnt doing anything to the engine worth every penny

 

thanks for the comments, i want it finished for june! dont know if it will be though

good progress already
