Getting to the point I am going to tackle the grot on my S2 cab, my plan is to take the bubbling areas back with a flap disk on my grinder, assess and let metal in where appropriate, then do a temporary paint job until its all done and then take it in to get it painted by a decent painter my dad uses, so basically just so it looks presentable and protects any new metal. I am going to tackle one area at a time, starting with the bottom of the NSF wing, other areas are
Hole below the battery, near side rear
Both rear arches low down, just surface rust
Rear end of NS Sill
Bubbled stonechip on the other side, middle of the sill end panel, thats the one that worries me
Main sills look ok, jacking points fine, a camera in there suggests all is well.
So, I have, so far
Flap Disks
Mig wire (0.6)
1mm cutting disks
various magnets
fresh steel
I need to stock up on
Sandpaper, various grades
Guards red spray
Primer
Filler/Stopper
Some kind of Rust Treatment/preventor
Prayer book/Crucifix/Holy Water
Might leave it devoid of stone chip and let the body shop do that bit.
My car was repainted and the stone chip guards were never renewed, so the bits behind the rear wheels are basically free of paint where stones have sprayed up and removed it, so anyone know where to get the sheilds or a better method to protect it
Anything else ?
