Nearly ready to put the h frame back on. Just need to find 2 brake pipe clips and flexy pipes that are in my spares somewhere. Put the petrol filler pipe back in and new bush and cap. New bushes from my spares, brake pipe made up, new handbrake cables fitted and one completed shock on

[Jeff Turbo]

Proper job! I've seen people put less than six coats of paint on the outside of the car ....that should still be looking good in several years time.... probably outlast powder coating...

It'll last me out John lol

Bushes drilled out in the end, rear back plates removed, frame cleaned with a drill and wire brush attachment. Now in a container using electrolysis to remove the last bits of rust one side at a time then lots of coats of black paint after rust treatment applied
