looking at the pictures it will be very economical to use epoxy .. one box is around 4 litre.. and with that you can solve the problems of cars in 10th numbers at minimum :y

Right boys....

im just about to go and do this job now. can you just confirm im doing this right.....

1.) cup brush as much rust off as possible
2.) I got some kurust... treat sills and chasis rails with that
3.) paint... i have primer, star silver and lacquer.... can i just use this??? without the lacquer presumably?
4.) underseal
5.) beer

cem, thanks for all that advice but got to be honest im on a bit of a budget and i don't have paint gun etc

Well, broke out the wire wheel (cup) and the Kurust.

Srry about the quality of the photos but I've put it all back together and I'm leaving the Kurust over night...




its certainly not perfect as theres a bunch of fuel lines, wires etc to avoid but it didn't all come off with the wire brush. however it did all turn blue as it said it should.

do you reckon im good to go with painting then undersealin' tomorrow :)
