Small amount of progress but a fair few photos.
The scope of the rebuild has been extended somewhat, managed to get a good deal on rear quarter panels and inner sills (was already repairing inner sills) so more work to be done (eventually)
I previously picked up a replacement back panel that was in good nick and cut off another mini, so I thought it was a good time to clean it up, remove rust and stick some primer on it.
Rubbing down areas on outside of rear panel (there was a bit of surface rust)
Bit of panel wipe and a light coat of primer
Next it was onto the rear of the panel, i have cut off the support between the parcel shelf and back panel so that i could tidy up and prime behind it, i will be reinstating it eventually. First off clean all surface rust off with grinder/dremel/sand paper
Apply deox gel to remove the rust and leave overnight with cling film
The next day the black is all the rust that has been removed
Deox gel all cleaned off and panel wiped
Quick bit of primer put on panel for time being
Next i will be back on sorting the floor out!
