Guest spenny Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yeh mate the sanding does get a bit tedious but someone gotta do it plus with me doing it I will know its done right.

Guest spenny Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 another good day on the cabby today.. been working on her back-side all day and found 3 nasty little hole's eating away at her under the stone chip. so cut out the rotten metal and treated around the holes with rust treatment.. also cleaned up the wheel well as there was a lot of surface rust so treated that. filled the holes and then painted it all with hammerite.. her back-side now looks alot better just needs one more coat of paint here's more pic's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spenny Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 bit more work done on the cabby this wkend not a lot but its all good progress... a little repair work done were the back lights sit. as some of you may know this area holds water and as a result will rot. i think i have sorted it just in time as there were only 2 or 3 little bubbles starting to show under the paint. but to provent it from holding water again i have skimmed it. plus it also looks a lot smoother. i have also cleaned up all the boot & treated any areas of surface rust then gave it all a good couple of coats of hammerite..
