Your ute is looking very good so far..
just when you go to paint or prime the car make sure all metal is clear of rust and drown the car in fish oil so its dosen't rust. other wise it will f^*k you in the ass later and will bubble with rust.

ok i took about an inch worth of bog off that really messy weld job - so messy even the blck stone guard stuff can't hide it underneath.

Took AGES to do even with the wire wheel on the angle grinder

Spent the day swithching between sanding down Iestyn's cot, and workin on the engine bay.

using the wire wheel to get another inch of bog off the corner behind the strut tower........

the big red circle shows the tin foil that u get a meat pie in...it was shoved into a big rust hole and covered in bog to fill the hole!!! - anyone else found this kind of DIY fix-it job in their datto??

the other pic is just the top of the rust hole!
