Had a very busy 4 hours or so decided that after all the rust bubbles that had been peakin threw were becomin a menace so i decided to attack

lol firstly i removed the window and uses my file to remove the big chunks of rust and loose paint






i then sanded the rust down and applied some hammerite rust killer green Snot





i then did the same on the roof





the person who sprayed the car a few years ago had filled a hole with sikalfex so i decided to have a go with some instant gasket to fill the hole






i then preped the front and painted the roof






so now u can see my progress today ready for the hell and back run tomorow should be good although my nefew and neice are comin with me now as got to look after them

Dude, for an A plate car, it's pretty damn solid looking at those pics. I quite like the bonnet stripes too.

[Saxo-Fiesta-Mini]

[Saxo-Fiesta-Mini]

so had a lil bit more progress the last 2 days firstly i decided to replace the earth strap in the boot to the battery seen as i melted it on the dyno run about 2 months ago now

i also decided to attack the enournmous rust bubble on the front of the car to find of all things a HOLE lol

so here some pics of the car, the boot and random stages during the holes repair i know it been fillered but i killed the rust and sanded it down first and when i respray the car he will get treated to a flip front

also had to use a bottle of rad seal the other day so running alot cooler now
