Small update,

Removed side skirts to check sills and for some more room etc, all fine just abit of surface rust, got it all rubbed back etc.

so i got to rubbin the rear 1/4 down and found a few dents so i got the filler out, one got the 1 pic so far its abit chilly so i put more hardener in the filler but its stil takin its time to dry..

Edit, started to rub the filler down, but i now have arm ache, and its starting to hurt my shoulder(the reason ive been of wokr for two weeks) so i'm going to get a leccy stander of my mate and crack on 2mora

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/Martain_novalicious/000_0005-1-1.jpg

should be in primer by next week or even painted..

Martin

[Matt2107]

Halfords do Zinc primer.

Either etch or zinc as I think they are the same thing.

[Adam]

Looking good.
And yeah protect the bare metal, as even moisture in the air will start rusting it.

[adamz]

deffinatly etch primer , but not alot , only a light over spray / dust
