Title: Just For Twiglet & Anyone Else That Wants A Look
Post by: waspy on 01 August 2012, 16:36:14
You asked for more pics Twig :)

Rust patch under the wiper now treated, filled & painted. There was two patches where the number plate fixings went through, also treated.

Irmscher trim also now fitted.

Keep em coming Pete, it's always good to look back on pictures when you're sorting a car out.  :y

Tailgate is looking spot on now mate.  Are you leaving the 2.0 16v badge on to give the boy racers a surprise?  ;D

It looks good but is let down by the towbar. ;)

A quick squirt of aerosol black would cure that.

One of the little jobs that I will be doing. I'm seriously thinking of taking it off & having it galvanized, then painting it :y

What an arm hole ::) What gets me is that it's such a small patch, but a big job. I think I'll stick a go faster stripe over mine next time ;D :-X
The rust must have been around 15-20mm in diameter but by the time you've blended the paint in, lacquered, rubbed back & polished the whole top half had been done ;D
