Re: Fleas sh*tter project
I was not happy with the rear sub frame so re wire brushed & hammered off the surface rust & have given it another coat of kurust So coats of paint will now have to wait until its thoroughly dried out so i can sand it again. Still removed the rear springs & started to clean all the crap off them.

Re: Fleas sh*tter project
I know it don't look a lot but a lot of tapping with the chipping hammer & wire brushing has been going on today on the hubs & bits. Now given it another coat of Kurust. Remembering to give the rubbers a smearing of Valvoline so as not to damage them.
Also thought id clean up the fuel filter bracket while i was at it too
Still needs a few more coats

Re: Fleas sh*tter project
Got my rims. Thanks to Terry from modsters
Also managed to get some old chrome hub caps that were still in the tissue paper so they are brand new.
You got to imagine the rims finished in cream

Re: Fleas sh*tter project
Done my first bit of welding. Cut a section of inner quarter & welded a section back. Its a bit sloppy but with a bit of practice i hope to get a bit better at it.
Outer skin is about ready to go on.

Re: Fleas sh*tter project
Considering the age of the car i would have expected the near side to be a lot worse than i have found. Cut out all the rust & this is what i'm left with so i am very pleased. You can even see the original primer on the inside so she's not to bad.
