1.6 8v T project

Abit of an update! Just cleaning the underneath of the the boot floor and chasis. Cleaned all the rust off back to bare metal then treated it with hammarite Krust then primed it with anti rust primer.


You can see the rust treatment in this pic.

Hopefully get it ready for next summer :thumb:

After cleaning the rust off and rust treating the underside of the car where the fuel tank sits i put a couple coats of hammirite anti-rust primer on.

Whilst the primer was drying i thought i would clean the filler neck up. This is how it was after it came off the car. Pretty dirty and rusty. Did think about buying a new one if it was not saveable.

Got my drill with a sanding disk on the end and various wire wheel attachments and took it back to bare metal.

Next i covered it in hammarite krust. Just to make sure ive killed as much rust as i could. It turns a purpley blue colour.
